WhatsApp is introducing a new feature to assist you in steering clear of unwanted group chats. When someone not in your contacts adds you to a group, you will now receive a card displaying essential details about the group, such as its creator and creation date. This feature enables you to determine whether you want to remain in the group or exit promptly.

Similar to how WhatsApp handles messages from unfamiliar senders, this feature provides a quick overview of the group, allowing you to make an informed decision about your participation. If the group raises suspicion, leaving it is as simple as tapping a button. Additionally, there is a link provided for further information on WhatsApp’s safety tools, empowering users to take additional measures to safeguard themselves.

Group chats are often targeted by scammers seeking to disseminate misinformation or deceive individuals into disclosing personal information. With the introduction of context cards, users gain valuable insights that aid in selecting groups wisely.

WhatsApp is dedicated to enhancing safety measures by implementing features like muting unknown callers, chat locking capabilities, and controlling group additions. The addition of context cards underscores the company’s commitment to creating a secure environment for all users.

While this feature does not guarantee immunity from suspicious groups, it empowers users with more information and control over their interactions. WhatsApp has begun rolling out this feature globally and expects it to be accessible to all users in the upcoming weeks.
