Feature Request: Group Settings Update Endpoint

Hello Evolution API team,

I'd like to request a new endpoint to update WhatsApp group settings.

A possible implementation could be:

Endpoint:
POST /group/settings

or

POST /group/updateSetting

The endpoint should allow updating the following group properties:

{
  "isLocked": true,
  "isAnnounce": true
}

Where:

  • isLocked

    • true → Only admins can edit the group information.
    • false → All participants can edit the group information.
  • isAnnounce

    • true → Only admins can send messages.
    • false → All participants can send messages.

This feature would be extremely useful for automation platforms that need to temporarily lock groups, enable announcement mode during events or broadcasts, and then restore the original settings automatically.

Thank you for considering this feature!
