Admins of groups may now approve new members before they join via a new feature coming to WhatsApp. Without the group administrator’s permission, users cannot join the group using an invitation link.

The new group membership approval has reportedly been discovered in beta version 2.22.14.6 of WhatsApp, according to the report by beta tracker WABetaInfo. In the group settings, the admin can allow or disable this function. As soon as the admin turns on the “admin approval” mode, the group members will receive a message.

If the administrator turns on this option, they will be notified if someone wishes to join the group. The list of pending requests will display beneath the approve option, according to WABetaInfo.

The admin approval function will aid in preserving user privacy and preventing phony members from joining the group.

Anyone with the group link can join the group in the current version. If the link is misused, this can raise privacy concerns. In case there are any questions, the admin may now confirm the group’s current members. The newest update is presently being worked on and will be available shortly.

CWPK Legacy
Launched in 1967 internationally, ComputerWorld is the oldest tech magazine/media property in the world. In Pakistan, ComputerWorld was launched in 1995. Initially providing news to IT executives only, once CIO Pakistan, its sister brand from the same family, was launched and took over the enterprise reporting domain in Pakistan, CWPK has emerged as a holistic technology media platform reporting everything tech in the country. It remains the oldest continuous IT publishing brand in the country and in 2025 is set to turn 30 years old, which will be its biggest benchmark and a legacy it hopes to continue for years to come. CWPK is part of the SPIN/IDG Wakhan media umbrella.
