WhatsApp helps you catch the group chat up.
It’s rolling out Group Message History, which lets group chat admins (and members, depending on permissions) share the most recent messages with new members of a chat. That should make it easier to catch people up without blasting old messages back to the whole group.
You can share up to 100 messages at once. Image: WhatsApp
