How to add a person to a WhatsApp group if they have been removed - in detail?
To add a person back to a WhatsApp group after they have been removed, you will need to follow these detailed steps:
- Ensure Group Admin Status: Only group administrators can add members to a WhatsApp group. If you are not already an admin, ask the current admins to promote you.
