According to WABetaInfo, individuals who try to join a group will be subject to approval by an administrator. An ‘approve new participants’ option will appear within the group settings. The feature is available for some beta testers who install the latest updates of WhatsApp beta for Android.

The instant messaging platform recently added a function to display the push name instead of the phone number within the chat list when users receive a message from an unknown number. The functionality, available on Android and iOS, will help users identify the unknown contact earlier.
