GBWhatsApp is a popular app and is used as the primary messaging app by most people. Currently, it has users in millions and they are still growing day by day. It has many features like texting, sharing documents, audio calls, and video calls. But now we can connect with many people at a time by making groups on WhatsApp.
It is a very popular feature for keeping in touch with friends and family members from around the world. WhatsApp earlier used to allow anyone to add anyone to a WhatsApp group, until and unless they had their saved number. This led to bumper issues of random people adding randomly to anonymous useless groups so, GBWhatsApp especially after the group limit was extended to 256 members, introduced a new feature to stop others from adding us to the groups. Recently, GBWhatsApp rolled out these group privacy settings to everyone.
