WhatsApp is introducing new safety measures for group chats to enhance transparency and user security. The update includes group context cards that provide information on who added you to a group, who created the group, when it was created, and the group description. This aims to help users avoid spammy or unsolicited groups.

Additionally, the update features new reporting options to further safeguard users. Users can long press on a message to report it. No on in the group will be notified.

The changes come in response to increased group activity and overall usage on WhatsApp, driven by a shift towards private group engagement and the app's full message encryption. These measures are being rolled out to all users over the next few weeks.
