How to add a person to a WhatsApp conversation - in detail?

To add a person to an existing WhatsApp conversation, follow these detailed steps:

  1. Open the Existing Conversation: First, locate and open the group or individual chat where you want to add the new participant. This can be done by scrolling through your list of chats or using the search function.
  2. Access Group Info (for Groups): If it's a group conversation, tap on the group name at the top of the screen to open the "Group Info" page. For individual conversations, you will need to convert it into a group first by following these steps:

    • Open the chat and tap on the three dots (⋮) in the top right corner.
    • Select "Group Settings".
    • Tap on "Convert to Group".
    • Add at least one other contact from your phone book to create a group. You can remove this temporary member later if needed.
  3. Add Participant: For both individual and group chats, once you are in the "Group Info" page (or after converting an individual chat to a group):

    • Tap on the "Add Participant" option, which is usually represented by an icon with a person and a plus sign (+).
    • You will be prompted to select contacts from your phone book. Search for the contact you wish to add or scroll through your list of contacts.
    • Select the contact(s) you want to add.
  4. Confirm Addition: After selecting the desired contact(s), tap on the checkmark or "Done" button to confirm adding them to the conversation.
  5. Verify Participants (optional): You can verify that the new participant has been added by checking the list of participants in the "Group Info" page. For individual chats converted to groups, ensure all unnecessary temporary members have been removed.

By following these steps, you can successfully add a person to an existing WhatsApp conversation, allowing for seamless inclusion into ongoing discussions or information sharing.
