How to add a person to WhatsApp if you are not an admin - briefly?
If you are not the admin of a WhatsApp group and wish to add someone, you cannot directly invite them. However, you can suggest to the admin that they add the person, or share their contact information so the admin can do it.
How to add a person to WhatsApp if you are not an admin - in detail?
Adding a new member to a WhatsApp group when you are not the administrator can be achieved through several methods, each with its own set of conditions and limitations. Here’s a detailed guide on how to add someone to a WhatsApp group even if you are not an admin:
-
Invite Link Method: If the group has invite links enabled, any member can use this link to invite new participants. To do this:
- Open the WhatsApp group where you want to add the new person.
- Tap on the group name at the top of the screen to open the group info page.
- Look for the "Invite via link" option and tap on it. If you don’t see this option, it means the feature is not enabled by the admin.
- Copy the invite link and send it to the person you want to add. They can join the group using that link.
-
Forwarding Message: Another way to add someone to a WhatsApp group without being an admin is by forwarding a message from the group to the new participant. Here’s how:
- Open the WhatsApp group and select any message within it.
- Tap on the forward icon (usually represented by an arrow).
- Select the contact you want to add to the group.
- After sending the message, the recipient will see an option to join the group. They can tap on this option to become a member of the group.
-
Group Settings: Some WhatsApp groups have settings that allow any member to invite new participants. To check if your group has this setting:
- Open the group info page by tapping on the group name at the top of the screen.
- Look for the "Group settings" option and tap on it.
- Check the "Send messages" section. If it says "Anyone can add you," then any member can invite new participants without being an admin. If not, only admins can add new members.
