How do I create a chat in WhatsApp on iPhone 11 - in detail?

To create a new chat in WhatsApp on an iPhone 11, follow these detailed steps:

Firstly, ensure that WhatsApp is installed and up-to-date on your device. If you haven't already, download the app from the App Store and sign in with your phone number.

  1. Unlock Your Device: Begin by unlocking your iPhone 11 using Face ID or your passcode.
  2. Open WhatsApp: Locate the WhatsApp icon on your home screen and tap it to open the application. The app will take you directly to your chat list if you're already signed in.
  3. Navigate to Chats Screen: If you are not automatically directed to the chats screen, swipe left or right to switch between different tabs at the bottom of the screen until you find the "Chats" tab. This is typically the first option on the list.
  4. Create a New Chat: To start a new chat, tap on the icon with the pencil in the top-right corner of your screen. This will open up a new window where you can select or search for contacts to add to your chat.
  5. Select Contacts: You will see a list of suggested contacts based on your recent interactions. To choose one, simply tap on their name. If the contact you want isn't listed, use the search bar at the top to find them by entering their name or phone number.
  6. Add Multiple Contacts (Optional): You can create a group chat by selecting more than one contact. Tap on additional contacts until you have included everyone you wish to be part of the conversation.
  7. Create Group (If Applicable): If you've selected multiple contacts, WhatsApp will prompt you to create a group. Tap "Next" in the top-right corner. You can then give your group a name and add a profile picture if desired. Tap "Create" to finalize the group.
  8. Start Chatting: Once you've selected your contact(s), you will be taken directly to the chat window. Here, you can type messages using the text box at the bottom of the screen and send them by tapping the arrow icon on the right side. You can also use the camera icon to send photos or videos, or the plus icon to attach documents or other media.

By following these steps, you will have successfully created a new chat in WhatsApp on your iPhone 11. Whether it's a one-on-one conversation or a group discussion, you can now communicate easily and efficiently with your contacts.
