WhatsApp's new feature can be found in the 'Settings' menu under Account > Privacy > Groups. This is similar to WhatsApp's privacy control for last seen, profile photo, about, and status update. WhatsApp, at present offers options to mute groups for 8 hours, 1 week or a year and disable notifications as well. Users can archive group chats as well. But this feature will have stricter control over groups on the app.
WhatsApp has also launched the beta version of its business app on iOS. WhatsApp Business allows businesses to connect with consumers through the messaging app's platform. Launched last January, WhatsApp Business was available only for Android users. The Facebook-owned company could soon launch it for all users on iOS.
