As an added security incentive, WhatsApp took the decision to integrate fingerprint security within the app, in an attempt to make sure that only authorized access is granted. Now though, WhatsApp is introducing yet another privacy-centric feature which would give users around the globe the ability to give them much more control regarding the people that may or may not add them to group chats.
This feature allows the users to select if everyone, all contacts or indeed some specified contacts can or cannot add them group chats. Before this, WhatsApp did have similar functionality which meant that users had the option to say nobody could add them to groups. However, after feedback received, it took upon itself to integrate the functionality to block everyone into the “My contacts except…” option.

And while with this feature some users may not be granted the access to add certain WhatsApp users to group chats, they will still be allowed to send private invites to these particular users. The user on the receiving end of the invite then would have three days to either accept or reject the invite.
The manner with which this function will be made possible for you is if you download the latest update that WhatsApp has to offer. After you get the latest update, you can enable this WhatsApp group chat privacy feature simple by heading to the app settings. After this, you would need to navigate to Account, then privacy, and from there, to groups. From here then, users will have the ability to select who can add them go group chats, and who cannot.
