The Facebook, which is also the owner of online messaging giant WhatsApp, is now making the messenger more like Facebook.It introduced 24 hours lasting status update much like Facebook which was actually borrowed from Instagram.
It also introduced groups which is actually a Facebook feature.As you know, in a Facebook group, the admin can actually impose restrictions on the content.
He can ban group members for real or he can also restrict them from posting.Very soon, we might see a similar feature in WhatsApp groups
A leak has been found on the internet which reveals that WhatsApp is definitely in thoughts of adding more power to the admin rights in a WhatsApp group.The beta user might soon receive “Restricted Groups” feature in WhatsApp 2.17.430.You can activate this setting only if you are an administrator of any WhatsApp group
If the admin has restricted a group member from posting, he/she can only read the messages in the group but will not be able to react of respond.However, the banned members can see a “Message Admin” button which will allow the users to request the admin to lift the restrictions imposed on them
In addition, admin can also restrict the group members from changing the name or icon of the group.How these upcoming features look? More centralisation of power.Isn’t it?
