JAKARTA - WhatsApp is now experimenting with new features, which are for WhatsApp beta users on Android and iOS, to be able to configure group permissions, as they want to create new groups.

Discovered for the first time by WABtainfo, this feature will allow group creators to have tighter control over newly created groups and improve the settings process.

Based on the explanation provided, there is one new tab that will appear in addition to the "Disappearing messages" option. The new tab is named "Group Permissions."

With this feature, group creators can set what permissions are allowed and what members don't allow in groups. For example, you can apply that members can't change group names, even before the group is officially created.

Previously, you had to create a group first, then set permission in the group. Thanks to the presence of this feature, you can apply the rules, even before the group is officially created. So, after the group is formed, the members just need to follow the rules.

In addition, the WhatsApp feature also offers additional features for group creators, and gives them greater control over newly created groups.

The ability to configure group permissions when creating this group is only available to some users who are installing the latest WhatsApp beta updates for Android from the Google Play Store and WhatsApp beta for iOS from the TestFlight app, and will probably roll out to more people in the coming days.
