How To Restrict People From Adding You To Groups?
X
I am sure many a time you must have thought "Is there any way to stop people from adding me to their WhatsApp group?" WhatsApp had given freedom to add anyone to any group even when you had made a quit multiple times. It's annoying. If you wish to prevent someone from adding you to the WhatsApp group, this post would be helpful for you.

The Privacy controls in WhatsApp do not allow its users to block a group directly. However, you could prevent other WhatsApp users from adding you to groups using an option in the privacy settings. So even though you may not have a direct alternative to leave the WhatsApp group permanently or restrict the WhatsApp group, the steps below will block those annoying users.

Here's how you can enable it

Open WhatsApp on your phone, and go to Settings > Accounts > Privacy.

Tap on Groups, and select the option that suits you best.

Nobody (this prevents anyone from adding you to a group without an invitation)

My contacts (only your contacts can add you to a group without an invitation)

Anyone (Anyone can add you to a group without an invitation)
