"Dream - Have you ever been added to a WhatsApp group by someone else without their permission? Being added randomly to a WhatsApp group is certainly very annoying. Especially if the person adding you is a stranger who may have obtained your WA number from an unclear source. This is not just a spam disturbance, but it also has the potential to become a fraud threat. "
"We often see viral cases on social media where someone is suddenly added to an unknown group and then asked to perform various tasks to earn money, which turns out to be a scam. Luckily, WhatsApp now provides a variety of increasingly strict privacy and security settings."
"This setting includes options to control who can add us to groups. With this setting, users can protect themselves from being added to WhatsApp groups indiscriminately."
The privacy feature has actually been available since 2019. WhatsApp revealed that the launch of this feature aims to give users more control over their experience in the app. It turns out that many people are still unaware that WhatsApp has this amazing privacy feature. For those of you who don't know it yet, check out the following steps to keep our WhatsApp number from being added to WA groups haphazardly by others.
"1. Guide to Setting WhatsApp Privacy for Android Users"
For you Android users, here is a way to manage your WhatsApp privacy so that you are not randomly added to WA groups by others:
Here is the translated text with HTML tags preserved: "Open the WhatsApp application on your device. Tap the three dots icon in the upper right corner to open the menu, then select Settings. Navigate to Privacy and scroll down until you find the Group option. If you want to allow everyone including those not in your contact list, select the 'Everyone' option. If you only want to allow people in your contact list, select the 'My contacts' option. To restrict who can add you to groups, select 'My contacts, except...' and then choose the allowed contacts. If there are further instructions, press 'Done' to save the settings changes."
"2. Guide to Setting WhatsApp Privacy for iPhone Users"
For you iPhone users, here’s how to manage your WhatsApp privacy settings to prevent being added to WA groups indiscriminately by others:
Open the WhatsApp application on your iPhone.
Go to the Settings menu.
Select Privacy, then find the Groups option.
To allow anyone, including those not in your contact list, to add you to WhatsApp groups without needing approval, choose 'Everyone'.
To limit additions only from people on the contact list, select 'Kontak saya' or 'My contacts'. If you want to be more selective, choose 'Kontak saya, kecuali...' or 'My contacts, except...' and specify who is allowed to add you to groups. It is recommended to select the option 'Kontak saya' or 'Kontak saya, kecuali...' so that you are not added to random groups. Tap 'Selesai' if prompted to confirm the settings.
The translation of "Catatan Lain yang Perlu Diketahui" to English is "Other Notes to Be Aware Of".
"If you choose the 'Contact me' or 'Contact me, except...' option, then unknown group admins can still send invitations to the group via private messages. If you are confident in the authenticity of the WhatsApp group, you can accept the invitation. However, if you feel unsure, it is better to decline the invitation. The invitation will expire in three days, so you have enough time to think about it."
"However, if you have already been added to a WhatsApp group without your consent, it is advisable to leave the group immediately. If you find indications of spam or fraud, report the group first before leaving."
