How to create a WhatsApp group where only the admin can write - briefly?
To create a WhatsApp group where only the admin can write, use the "Broadcast List" feature instead of a traditional group. This allows the admin to send messages to all participants without enabling them to respond.
How to create a WhatsApp group where only the admin can write - in detail?
To create a WhatsApp group where only the admin can write, you need to follow these detailed steps:
-
Create the Group:
- Open WhatsApp and go to the "Chats" tab.
- Tap on the three dots (⋮) in the top right corner to access the menu.
- Select "New Group."
-
Add Participants:
- Choose the contacts you want to add to the group by tapping on their names.
- Once all desired participants are selected, tap the green checkmark (✓) at the bottom right corner to create the group.
-
Set Group Subject and Icon:
- After creating the group, you will be prompted to set a group subject (name) and icon (profile picture). Enter the name and choose an image as desired.
-
Mute the Group:
- To prevent participants from sending messages, you need to mute the group. Tap on the group's name at the top of the chat screen.
- Select "Group Info."
- Scroll down and tap on "Mute."
- Choose "Always" to permanently mute the group. This will prevent all participants except admins from sending messages.
-
Add More Admins (Optional):
- If you want other people to have admin privileges, go back to "Group Info."
- Tap on "Add Participant" and select the contacts you wish to make admins.
- After adding them, tap on each name to assign them as admins by selecting "Make Admin."
-
Revoke Message Sending Privileges:
- Muting the group alone might not be sufficient in some cases. To ensure that only admins can send messages, you need to manually remove message-sending privileges for regular participants.
- Go to "Group Info" and tap on each participant's name.
- Select "Remove from Group." This will remove the participant but keep them in your contacts list.
-
Monitor and Control:
- Regularly monitor the group to ensure that only admins are sending messages.
- If necessary, you can add or remove participants and admins as needed.
By following these steps, you can create a WhatsApp group where only the admin(s) have the privilege to write and send messages, maintaining control over the communication flow within the group.
