WhatsApp will display a “context card” of information that helps users identify spam or suspicious activity when they’re added to a new group message.
Soon, when WhatsApp users are added to group chats by someone they don’t know, the group will display a “context card” with key information such as who created the group, when it was created, the group description, and if the user was added by someone in their WhatsApp contact list. The idea of the feature is to better protect users against spam or scam activity in group messages.
There’s also a button to allow users to quickly leave the group message, plus a link to additional information about WhatsApp’s safety tools. The new feature — which resembles the current experience when WhatsApp users are individually messaged by someone they don’t know — should allow users to avoid chats with people they’d rather steer clear of and more quickly identify if they’ve been added to groups operating scams or engaging in other fraudulent activities.
