After years of worrying about users’ privacy and security through the option of encrypted messages and temporary photos, the new tools seek to improve interactions between their users.

Because of this, people’s approval is a great way to filter these individuals efficiently. However, the function is still under testing, so you can only find it in the beta version of the app. Nevertheless, the response has been positive for those who have had the opportunity to try it.

So, for those who don’t bother to admit someone, just put it off. For those who choose to enable the “Approve People” option, it will be available when someone tries to access the group via the invite link.
When will the update be released?
The developers have yet to comment on when the novelty might go live. However, it is already in an advanced testing phase, which indicates that it should be implemented in a short period of time.
