This last Thursday (16), the Whatsapp announced yet another feature that has been required for a long time by its users. Now, to join groups from the application, even through the invitation links, it is necessary to go through an approval of the administrators. In this way, the platform allows for greater control over who enters the communities, where these new members may be refused entry.
Check out how this new WhatsApp feature will work below.

In recent months, the messenger has been releasing a series of updates that have greatly pleased users. After years of worrying about users' privacy and security, through messages encrypted and option of temporary photos, the new tools seek to improve the interaction between your users. Because of this, the creation of polls in these chats is being tested and even the recently launched option to react to messages.
How will the new tool work?
First of all, it is important to understand that this measure is a result of the increase in the limit of participants in the groups, which is now 512. Because of this, people approval is a great way to filter these individuals efficiently. However, the function is still undergoing testing, so you can only find it in the beta version of the application. Even so, the feedback has been positive from those who have already had the opportunity to experience it.
In addition, according to what has already been disclosed, for the resource to be used, it is necessary to enable it in the settings of each group. So, for those who don't care about accepting anyone, just keep it disabled. For those who choose to activate the “approve people” option, it will be available whenever someone tries to access the group through invitation links.
When will the update be released?
The developers have not yet commented on when the novelty may go live. However, it is already in an advanced testing phase, which indicates that it should be implemented in a short time.
