The first thing is to indicate that we must be running the latest version available in the iOS App Store of WhatsApp, we talk about the version 2.19.110.20 or higher. Use the Haptic Touch or 3D Touch function on the App Store icon and click on «Updates» to check whether or not you actually have a pending WhatsApp update. If not, we already have everything you need to get started.

  1. Open the WhatsApp application
  2. Click on the gear icon in the lower right corner to go to setting
  3. Within settings click on account and access the section Privacy
  4. Choose Groups to select settings

We have three variants:

  • All: Everyone can add us to WhatsApp groups without exception
  • My contacts: Only those users that we have in our agenda
  • My contacts except ...: This is the option we are looking for, if we select everyone (in the upper right corner), we can prevent anyone from attacking us without our consent, however, they can send us a private message with the link and we will accept or not the invitation

This is how easy you can avoid being added to a WhatsApp group without your consent, You no longer have an excuse to avoid the group of daddies from school.

    It is wrong ... deliberately

    Being added to a group without your consent does not seem ethical to me, but it is clear that whatsapp / facebook is not interested in implementing this simple function.

    Why do I have to leave a group that I have never wanted to be a part of?

    The most coherent thing would be that when they wanted to add you to a group, you received an invitation that you could accept or reject, and that you were not added to the group until you accepted the invitation. Anyone who likes user management could play with automatically accepting / rejecting the invitation based on contacts ... or wanting to manually decide each and every one of the invitations.

    I personally prefer to be consulted ... but it is only my opinion
