How to add yourself to a group in WhatsApp - in detail?

Adding yourself to a WhatsApp group can be straightforward once you understand the process. Here is a detailed guide on how to achieve this:

  1. Open WhatsApp: Start by opening the WhatsApp application on your mobile device. Ensure that you are logged in with the account you wish to add to the group.
  2. Locate the Group: Navigate to the chat where you were invited to join the group. This invitation could be in the form of a message or a notification.
  3. Accept the Invitation: If the group administrator has sent you an invite link, tap on it. Alternatively, if you received a group invitation as a message, simply open that message.
  4. Join the Group: Once you tap on the invite link or open the message, you will see an option to join the group. Tap on the "Join" button. This action will add your number to the group's member list.
  5. Verify Your Membership: After joining, you can verify that you have been added by checking the group's member list. Go to the group info (usually represented by an icon with three dots or a small 'i' next to the group name) and tap on it. Here, you should see your profile picture or name listed among the group members.

It is important to note that WhatsApp groups have certain privacy settings which might affect how easily one can join. For instance, some groups may require administrator approval before new members are added. In such cases, your request to join will be pending until an admin approves it.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully add yourself to a WhatsApp group and start participating in the group conversations.
