MB WhatsApp Group Privacy Settings: Everything You Need to Know
In today’s digital world, group chats have become a huge part of how we communicate — whether it’s for family updates, work discussions, or fun with friends. If you’re using MB WhatsApp, you already know it offers far more control over privacy than the official WhatsApp app.
One of its standout features is the advanced group privacy settings that help you manage who can add you to groups, how you appear in them, and how you interact — without compromising your personal space.
In this guide, we’ll explore all the MB WhatsApp group privacy settings and show you how to customize them to protect your privacy while staying connected.
What Are Group Privacy Settings in MB WhatsApp?
Group privacy settings allow you to control:
- Who can add you to new groups
- Whether your name or number is visible
- Who can see your messages or group activity
- Whether you want to be part of a group without showing your “online” or “last seen” status
- Control over forwarding, replying, or viewing deleted group messages
MB WhatsApp enhances these controls far beyond the stock app, giving users fine-grained privacy tools.
How to Access Group Privacy Settings in MB WhatsApp
Here’s how to find the group privacy settings inside MB WhatsApp:
- Open MB WhatsApp on your phone.
- Tap the three-dot menu (top-right corner).
- Go to Privacy.
- Tap on Groups under the privacy section.
- Here, you’ll find all the privacy controls related to group chats.
✅ Note: MB WhatsApp menus may slightly differ depending on your version, but most privacy options are under the “Privacy” tab or MB Settings.
Group Privacy Setting Options Explained
Let’s break down each of the major group privacy options and what they do:
1. Who Can Add Me to Groups
This is one of the most important settings. You can choose from:
- Everyone: Anyone can add you to a group (default setting).
- My Contacts: Only people saved in your phonebook can add you.
- My Contacts Except…: You can exclude specific contacts who you don’t want to be able to add you to groups.
- Nobody: You will receive an invite link instead of being added directly.
🔐 Best for privacy: “My Contacts Except…” gives the most control without completely disabling invites.
2. Hide Group “Seen” and “Online” Status
MB WhatsApp lets you stay invisible in groups:
- Hide when you’re online in a group.
- Prevent others from seeing if you’ve viewed their message.
- Disable the blue ticks in groups while keeping them active in private chats (and vice versa).
💡 Useful if you want to stay updated silently without letting everyone know.
3. Mute or Hide Group Notifications
You can mute group alerts or:
- Hide the group name from your notification bar
- Hide message content from notifications
- Customize notification tones per group
This is great for reducing distraction, especially in high-traffic groups.
4. Block Specific Members Within a Group
MB WhatsApp gives a rare feature where you can:
- Block a specific contact within a group without leaving the group.
- Their messages become hidden or grayed out, depending on your setting.
🚫 Perfect if you want to avoid one person without leaving the conversation.
5. View Deleted Messages in Groups
A very cool MB WhatsApp trick — even if someone deletes a message in the group, you can still:
- View the deleted message
- Restore it to chat
- Get a notification that a message was deleted
🕵️♂️ MB WhatsApp keeps your group history intact — even when others try to erase it.
6. Disable Forward Tag in Groups
Normally, when you forward a message in WhatsApp, it shows a “Forwarded” label.
In MB WhatsApp, you can disable this in group chats, so your forwarded messages look original.
✉️ Great for admins and marketers who want clean communication.
7. Anti-Revoke in Groups
Anti-revoke allows you to:
- Read messages even after they are deleted
- Disable the “delete for everyone” feature from affecting your chat view
This works in both one-on-one chats and groups.
8. Group Admin Privacy Controls
If you’re an admin, you get new features:
- Hide Admin Tag: Appear as a normal member, even if you’re the admin.
- Control Who Can Message: Set the group so only admins can send messages.
- Set Temporary Participation: Allow new members to only see new messages after joining.
🔧 MB WhatsApp makes being a group admin feel like managing a private server.
