WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature designed to protect users from group chat scams. The update alerts users when they're added to a group by someone not in their contacts, providing key details such as group size, shared contacts, and creation date. Users can exit the group directly from the alert without viewing the chat. WhatsApp emphasizes that this is part of an ongoing effort to combat scams and will continue testing similar alerts for direct messages. This feature aims to empower users with information to make informed decisions about group participation and avoid potential swindles.
