How do I transfer participants from one WhatsApp group to another on my phone - briefly?
To transfer participants from one WhatsApp group to another, you will need to manually add them to the new group as there is no direct feature for bulk transfer. This process involves leaving the old group and then adding each participant individually to the new group.
How do I transfer participants from one WhatsApp group to another on my phone - in detail?
Transferring participants from one WhatsApp group to another directly is not a native feature of the app, but there are workarounds you can use to achieve this. Here’s a detailed step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Create a New Group
- Open WhatsApp on your phone.
- Tap on the three dots (⋮) or the more options button in the top right corner of the screen.
- Select "New Group" from the dropdown menu.
- Choose the participants you want to add to this new group. You can select them individually by tapping on their names, or use the search bar to find specific contacts.
- Tap the green arrow (→) button at the bottom right corner of the screen to create the new group.
- Assign a name and an icon for the new group, then tap "Create" at the bottom of the screen.
Step 2: Add Participants from the Old Group
- Open the old WhatsApp group where you want to transfer participants from.
- Tap on the group name or the more options button (⋮) in the top right corner.
- Select "Group Info."
- Scroll down and tap on "Add Participant" or the plus (+) icon at the bottom of the participant list.
- Select the participants you want to add from your contacts list. You can also search for them using the search bar.
- Tap the green arrow (→) button at the bottom right corner to add them to the group.
Step 3: Remove Participants from the Old Group
- Still within the old WhatsApp group, tap on the group name or the more options button (⋮) in the top right corner.
- Select "Group Info."
- Find the participant(s) you want to remove and tap on their names.
- Select "Remove [Participant Name] from Group" and confirm your choice by tapping "Remove."
Step 4: Verify Participants in the New Group
- Open the new WhatsApp group where you added participants.
- Tap on the group name or the more options button (⋮) in the top right corner.
- Select "Group Info."
- Scroll down to verify that all desired participants have been successfully added.
Important Note:
- When adding participants to a new group, they will receive a notification about being added. However, when removing them from an old group, they might not be automatically notified unless the group's settings specify otherwise.
- This process requires manual steps and might take some time depending on the number of participants you are transferring.
By following these detailed steps, you can effectively manage your WhatsApp groups and ensure that all participants are in their correct groups.
