- Add Participant: Scroll down to find the "Add participant" option and tap on it.
- Select Contact: You will see a list of your contacts. Tap on the contact you wish to add to the group. If the contact is not in your address book, you can also use their phone number to search for them.
- Confirm Addition: Once you have selected the contact, tap on the "Add" or "√" button to confirm. The new subscriber will now be part of the group chat.
As a Regular Participant

Important Considerations
- Admin Approval: If you are not an admin and try to add someone using the "Invite via link" feature, the admin must approve the addition before the new subscriber can join.
- Group Settings: Some groups may have settings that restrict who can add new members. In such cases, only admins can add subscribers.
By following these steps, you can easily add a new subscriber to your WhatsApp group chat and keep your communication network up to date.
