Whatsapp has officially rolled out the “Restricted Group” feature where Admins can restrict anyone but themselves from posting in their group. This can be great if you just want quiet over night, if you have an important announcement to make or if you’re like us who have a read only group [Click Here To Get Our Deals on Whatsapp]. That means no one but Admins can send texts, pictures, videos, etc.

How to do it:

  • If you’re on Android or iPhone, go to the Play Store/App Store and go to the Whatsapp App and hit “Update“
