The application is supposedly testing another feature which will allow the users to switch from voice to video call quickly while the call is still in progress without stopping the conversation. Some members of the group may post text messages, photos, videos, zip files, and documents irrespective of necessity.

Facebook owned messaging service WhatsApp is likely to add a new feature to its mobile app. The new setting can only be activated by the group admins. The update also plans to prevent the group creator from being deleted from the group by other administrators. From now on, we can restrict such messages.

The feature came to attention after a user posted on WABetaInfo, in the beta versions of the messaging platform for Android and iOS (2.17.430).

The group admins will be able to activate the functionality though the Restricted Groups setting, according to an Independent report. If there exist more than one admin then the superior bunch will be able to send the messages on the group while other members will only read them. The non-admins can send a message to the group’s admins, which if approved, will be then shared on the group. The admins will be able to change the settings every 72 hours and members can be hopeful that WhatsApp can make the update a tad more flexible when it is officially released.
