How to enter a WhatsApp group if you have left - briefly?

If you've accidentally left a WhatsApp group and want to rejoin, there are two primary methods: either request an invite link from one of the current members or ask the group administrator to add you back manually.

How to enter a WhatsApp group if you have left - in detail?

If you have left a WhatsApp group and wish to rejoin, the process varies depending on whether you were removed by an admin or you left voluntarily. Here are detailed steps for both scenarios:

  1. If You Left Voluntarily:

    • Open WhatsApp and go to the Chats tab.
    • Locate the group you want to rejoin from your chat list.
    • Tap on the group name to open it.
    • If the group has been archived, you will need to unarchive it first by tapping and holding the group in the chat list, then selecting "Unarchive chat."
    • Once inside the group, tap on the group subject at the top of the screen to access the Group Info page.
    • Scroll down and tap "Invite via link" to generate a new invitation link.
    • Share this link with any member of the group who can then use it to add you back.
  2. If You Were Removed by an Admin:

    • Open WhatsApp and go to the Chats tab.
    • Locate the group you were removed from; it should still be in your chat list but marked with a "You were removed" message.
    • Tap on the group name to open it.
    • If the group has been archived, you will need to unarchive it first by tapping and holding the group in the chat list, then selecting "Unarchive chat."
    • Once inside the group, tap on the group subject at the top of the screen to access the Group Info page.
    • Scroll down and look for the "Group Invitation Link" section. If there is an active link, you can use it to rejoin the group. Tap on the link to automatically add yourself back to the group.
    • If there is no active invitation link available, you will need to contact one of the group members or admins to generate a new link for you. They can do this by going to Group Info > Invite via link and sharing the new link with you.

Additional Tips:

  • Ensure that your WhatsApp application is updated to the latest version, as older versions may not support some features required for rejoining groups.
  • If you are unable to rejoin a group using the above methods, it might be due to specific settings or restrictions set by the group admin. In such cases, contacting an admin directly for assistance is recommended.
  • Always respect the privacy and rules of the group, and ensure that your actions comply with WhatsApp's terms of service.
