How to install a WhatsApp icon on a group - in detail?

To create and add a custom icon for your WhatsApp group, you can follow these detailed steps:

1. Design Your Icon:

   • Start by designing your desired icon using graphic design software like Adobe Photoshop, Canva, or any other tool that suits your needs.
   • Ensure the image is high-quality and adheres to WhatsApp's guidelines for group icons. The recommended size is 192x192 pixels with a transparent background (PNG format).

2. Save Your Icon:

   • Once you are satisfied with your design, save the image in PNG format. This format supports transparency, which is crucial for a seamless appearance on various backgrounds.

3. Access Group Information:

   • Open WhatsApp and navigate to the group for which you want to set the custom icon.
   • Tap on the group name at the top of the screen to access the group information page.

4. Edit Group Icon:

   • On the group information page, tap on the current group icon (usually a collection of participant photos).
   • You will be presented with two options: "Change Icon" and "Edit Group Info." Tap on "Change Icon."

5. Select or Create Custom Icon:

   • WhatsApp will prompt you to choose an image from your gallery or take a new photo. Since you have already designed your icon, tap on the "Gallery" option.
   • Locate and select your custom PNG icon from the gallery. Ensure it is the correct size and format before proceeding.

6. Adjust the Icon (Optional):

   • Once selected, WhatsApp may allow you to adjust the position of the icon within a circular frame. Use the pinch-to-zoom gesture or drag the image to ensure it fits perfectly.
   • Tap on "Save" after making any necessary adjustments.

7. Confirm Your Selection:

   • WhatsApp will display a preview of your new group icon. If you are satisfied with the appearance, tap on "Set."
   • Your custom icon is now officially set for the group. All members will see the new icon when they access the group chat.

By following these steps, you can personalize your WhatsApp group with a unique and visually appealing icon that reflects the theme or purpose of your group.
