WhatsApp, the Meta-owned platform announced a new safety feature called “Context Card’ to alert users by giving more information about a group or accepting the invite request. When you were added to an unknown group you’ll be notified with additional details including who created the group, when it was made, and who added you to the group and the group description.

This will allow users to make decisions to be part of the group or not. It is even more helpful if anyone meets a group of people face to face but doesn’t save their contact later. This ‘Context Card’ feature is already available to some users and will be deployed to all in the coming days through a WhatsApp update, Meta stated in a press release on Tuesday.
