According to WABetaInfo, a popular fan site that tests new WhatsApp features early, you need to update your WhatsApp for Android v2.18.132 beta in order to see the feature. Referred to as a Restricted Group feature, group administrators will be able to find it by navigating to Group info > Group settings > Edit group info. Here, users will be able to choose who can change the group's subject, icon, and description - with two choices 1) All participants or 2) Only admins. The new Group settings section is also where administrators can assign new group admins.

"All participants can normally edit the group description, icon and subject, but finally the administrator can restrict this feature today, preventing no-administrators to modify the group description," the website said. To recall, the Group Description feature debuted on Android and Windows Phone back in February. It is also available on iPhone. However, both the iPhone and Windows Phone platforms currently have no option to restrict any user from editing the group description, icon, or subject. As we mentioned however, WABetaInfo claims the feature is currently rolling out to iPhone and Windows Phone users as well, though none of the iPhone units we have had yet received the functionality.

The report adds that several other group features are expected to make their way to WhatsApp soon. In testing since November, and disabled by default, are other Restricted Group features - including the ability to block all participants from being able to Send messages - including group text messages, images, videos, GIFs, documents, voice messages - or even starting a new live location session. Administrators will be able to choose whether all participants or only admins have access to these features. A participant will be able to request the admin for the ability to post, using the Message admin button.

With over 1.5 billion monthly active users, WhatsApp is available in more than 50 different languages around the world and in 10 Indian languages.
