Group Chat Invites Settings

KakaoTalk offers a "Group Chat Participation Settings" feature to help you handle unwanted group chat invites. With this feature enabled, you can review the chatroom information (the inviter and other participants) before reading the messages and decide whether to join the conversation if an unknown user invites you to a group chat. To manage your participation in group chats on the KakaoTalk mobile app, you can access the 'Group Chat Participation Settings' menu by navigating to 'More' > 'Settings' > 'Chat' > 'Group Chat Participation Settings.' Enabling this feature on your mobile device will sync your settings across all your sub-devices. Other participants will not be aware of whether you have joined the relevant chat.
