How to add a user to a WhatsApp group - in detail?
To add a user to a WhatsApp group, follow these detailed steps:
- Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your device.
- Select the Group: Navigate to the group where you want to add the new member. You can do this by tapping on the "Groups" tab at the bottom of the screen, if you're using an iPhone, or by swiping right on an Android device.
- Access Group Information: Once inside the group chat, tap on the group name or the three dots (⋮) in the upper-right corner to access the group information.
- Group Participants: In the group info screen, you will see a list of all current participants. Tap on "Participants" or "Members" depending on your device and WhatsApp version.
- Invite via Link: The easiest way to add a new user is by using an invite link. Tap on the "Invite via Link" option. If you don't see this option, it might be because the group admin has restricted the use of invite links. In that case, you will need to ask the admin for permission.
- Share or Copy the Link: You can either share the link directly with the person you want to add by selecting their contact from your list, or you can copy the link and send it to them via another messaging platform or email.
- Accept the Invitation: The person you invited will receive a message with the invite link. They need to tap on the link and then tap "Join Group" to be added as a new member.
- Admin Approval (if necessary): If the group is set up so that admins need to approve new members, you (or another admin) will receive a notification. Tap on "Approve" to add the new user to the group.
Alternatively, if invite links are not enabled:
- Tap on Add Participant: In the group info screen, tap on "Add Participant."
- Select Contact: Choose the contact you want to add from your list of contacts.
- Send Request: Tap on the contact's name and then tap "Send" or "OK." The selected contact will receive a request to join the group.
- Admin Approval (if necessary): If the group requires admin approval, the admin will see a notification and can approve the new member by tapping "Approve."
By following these steps, you can easily add a new user to your WhatsApp group.
