We’ve seen lots of updates from WhatsApp most especially the recall feature recently rolled out to everyone and the bug noticed on how you can read deleted messages from the recipient backend. Though we are still expecting WhatsApp to fix the bug.
Now, this is what we are expected to see in the near future, no specific time frame on when it will be rolled out but maybe 2018.
Admin Super Powers: WhatsApp will prevent the group creator to be deleted from the group by other administrators. This will help the group creator to have the full control of the group.
Subject Modification: The administrators will be able to choose if other participants can modify the subject of the group, its icon and its description, as shown below in this Android screenshot:
When an administrator decides that participants cannot change the subject of the group, its icon and its description, a notification will appear in the group telling you that only admins can change the group info.
Restriction in Groups:Administrators will be able to disable the chat features in the group: that means all participants won’t be able to send in the group text messages, images, videos, GIFs, documents, voice messages or starting a new live location session.. They will be able to do nothing in the group, and a notification in the chat will appear that “only admin can send messages to this group”
Admins will have power to disable the chat features… only admins will be able to interact within the group while other participants can only read messages but won’t be able to reply. This is necessary if admin want to pass an info or a training is going on in the group.
The settings of this feature can only be altered after 72hours.
