Fox Business Outlook: New survey by Security Baron shows average Americans would be willing to sell their social media data for around $2,160.
(Reuters) - Messaging service WhatsApp rolled out new group-chat features on Tuesday, including more controls for administrators as well as regular group members.
Users can now leave a group permanently to avoid being repeatedly added back after they have left, Facebook Inc-owned WhatsApp said in a blog post.
Administrators can no longer be removed from a group they created and users can now quickly locate messages that mention them in a group conversation.
Groups on WhatsApp have taken a central role in the messaging service that has more than 1 billion users, helping connect people with similar interests across the globe.
