WhatsApp Has a Feature to Set Only Group Admins Can Send Messages, Suitable for Online Learning (The Star)

YOGYAKARTA - WhatsApp updated their app and has a feature that allows only admins of a chat group that the user is participating in to send messages.

This feature is specifically for admins of certain groups on WhatsApp which serves to share information without any reply from other members. Thus, members can only read every message sent by the admin.

The feature, which has been released in 2018, is also very suitable for teachers at schools who want to share the subject matter with their students. The reason is, students can find out the description in sequence because there are no messages sent by other WhatsApp members such as questions and so on.

If you want to have a discussion, the teacher can create a new group that allows students to ask questions about the material given.

If you want to make a message in a WhatsApp group that can only be sent by the admin, users can follow the steps that have been compiled by the VOI team compiled from various sources below.

How to make only admins able to send messages on WhatsApp

To create a group that you create allowing only admins to send messages, you can open the WhatsApp application on your phone, then select a group.

Make sure that you are one of the admins in the group, or that you created the selected group.

After that, click on the group name at the top, then select the "Group Settings" menu in the options provided.

Furthermore, users can select the "Send Messages" menu to set who can send messages in the form of chat or otherwise in the group.

Select the "Only Admin" menu as the person who can send messages in the WhatsApp group you choose, then click "Ok" in the lower right corner.

That way only group admins can send messages in the group to share information with other members, without anyone being able to reply to them.

After the admin changes these settings, WhatsApp will send a notification in the group that reads "Only admins can send messages" or only admins can send messages and will be read by all group members.

This is a method that you can use to make only admins able to send messages in WhatsApp groups. This feature is suitable for teachers who want to convey material to their students.
