WhatsApp to get ‘admin review’

WhatsApp to get ‘admin review’

Messaging app WhatsApp is soon bound to get another useful feature called ‘admin review’. Users can report inappropriate messages in a group chat to the admin.

When group members report a particular message as offensive or inappropriate, it will be forwarded to group admins for review, who can then choose to delete the message for everyone in the group, according to WABetaInfo.

The new option will be available within the group settings page, meaning only group admins will be able to enable this feature.  They will be visible to group admins in a new section under the group info settings.

Developers are also working on another feature that lets users silence unknown callers. Located under the ‘privacy’ section in WhatsApp settings, it lets users mute calls from unknown phone numbers.
