Whatsapp is one of the best platforms to communicate with people but we are irritated when some unknown person abruptly add us to a new group without any information. Sometimes we don't want to join the group but these features let other users add you without your permission. Whatsapp had done a survey and found users are getting irritated because of this feature.
