‘Nieuwe update WhatsApp gericht op groeps-chat met alleen zendfunctie’ #antispam #groups
In de komende update van WhatsApp zal een nieuwe functie worden toegevoegd waarmee een beheerder van een groeps-chat de enige zender kan zijn. Bij groeps-chats kan de beheerder instellen dat alleen hij of zij berichten kan plaatsen. Andere groepsleden kunnen hierdoor niet antwoorden. de Engelse krant The Independent meldt:
The latest feature follows several other recent updates aimed at improving the group experience, such as group descriptions, a catch up feature and methods to prevent people being re-added to groups they have left.
De nieuwe functie
Unfortunately for many users, millions of older devices will no longer support the messaging app from 1 February, 2020, after the firm recently announced that devices running older operating systems will no longer be supported.
Officieel
Over the last few months, we’ve added new features that improve the groups experience. Some of these include group descriptions, a catch up feature, and protection for people who are being added repeatedly to groups they’ve left.
Today, we’re launching a new group setting where only admins are able to send messages to a group. One way people use groups is to receive important announcements and information, including parents and teachers at schools, community centers, and non-profit organizations. We’ve introduced this new setting so admins can have better tools for these use cases.
To enable this setting, open “Group Info,” tap Group Settings > Send Messages and select “Only Admins.” This setting is rolling out to all users around the world on the latest supported versions of the app.
