WhatsApp is a messaging app that is used by millions of people around the world. It has become one of the most popular messaging apps because it is easy to use and can be used by anyone. However, there are some ways that WhatsApp can be used to restrict message sending in a group to only admins. One way that WhatsApp can be used to restrict message sending in a group is by using the Group Policy Editor. The Group Policy Editor is a tool that can be found on the Windows 10 operating system. To use the Group Policy Editor, you first need to open up the Windows 10 operating system and then open up the System Preferences. Once open, you will need to click on the Security tab and then click on the General tab. On this page, you will need to click on the Edit button and then select the Add button. Once clicked, you will need to enter a name for your group and then select the OK button. Once clicked, you will need to enter a description for your group and then select the OK button. You will now have created your new WhatsApp group and it will be available for members of your group to send messages within.
Launch the WhatsApp app on your Android smartphone, tablet, or iPhone, and from under the “Chats” tab, enter your group chat.
Tap the group’s name at the top of the conversation to view its profile page.
Scroll down and select “Group Settings.”
Tap “Send Messages.”
Switch it to the “Only Admins” option. Select the “OK” button to save the new setting.
Now, only the admins have the right to send a message in your WhatsApp group chat. The rest of the members’ access will be downgraded to read-only.
Once you update this preference, WhatsApp will add an alert message in the group conversation to inform the participants of the change. For members, the usual compose text field at the bottom will also be replaced with a fixed note that says “Only admins can send messages.” The group’s past history of messages, however, won’t be affected.
To go back to the group chat’s previous state, you will have to return to the “Group Settings” menu and switch back to “All Participants.”
Since admins are in control of this group setting, you can even flip back and forth between the two choices. When you have information to share that you need to make sure everyone reads, you can disable public messages and enable them again later.
On the other hand, if you’re just fed up with your phone constantly buzzing due to a chatty group, you can consider silencing WhatsApp group notifications or muting a chat indefinitely.
