The WhatsApp Send Messages feature is for patrons who want to dictate a group chat.

WhatsApp groups will soon be a one-way communication channel. Reason? WhatsApp new function Send messages. The chat application asks a group administrator to become the supreme authority of the group and that is why deploying a Send Messages feature allows an administrator to block other participants. of the group.

The feature is available for iOS, Android and Windows user from today. WaBetaInfo, the fan site for WhatsApp reports that deployment on iOS is very fast while on Android and Windows Phone is rather slow.

With this feature, the administrator can essentially disable the chat function for the group. Only the group administrator can control this feature. The option is available in the group settings. When "Only Admins" is selected for the Send Messages option, other participants will not be able to send text messages, pictures, videos or voice messages. Only the administrator can send messages in the group in this case.

Once the administrator has changed the permission for all participants, he will be notified in the group with this message: "You have changed the settings of this group to this group". A similar message will appear when only administrators will be selected.

If anyone wants to send an emergency message in the group, he will have to contact the administrator so that he can activate the option for all participants. "When you send a message to an administrator via the group, you quote the group," says the report.

The feature can be viewed on WhatsApp Web. Although for us this feature looks like a dictatorship, WaBetaInfo says that the feature could help to send important messages to the group without being interrupted by other messages or avoiding disturbing messages at night. If you are the administrator, you can send messages at any time.

"If you are the group administrator and you have shared the group invitation link with third parties, you can also decide to close the group – contacts who might join the group when you sleep (absolutely normal if you have shared the group invitation link on the internet.) In this case, spam contacts can still join the group, but they will not be able to send messages. "
