1. Everyone: With this option, you can easily be added to WhatsApp groups with no invites coming in private chat.

2. My Contacts: With this, you can only be added to groups from people in your contact list. Before being added in a group, you will receive an invite to join a group from people not in your contacts list as a private message.

3. My contacts except option: With this option, you can decide who can add you to WhatsApp groups. With the My contacts except option, you can decide precisely who can add you to groups unlike earlier, where 'Nobody' option used to restrict anyone from adding you in a group.
