How to rejoin a group on WhatsApp - briefly?

How to rejoin a group on WhatsApp - in detail?
To rejoin a group on WhatsApp, follow these detailed steps:
Firstly, ensure that you have the latest version of WhatsApp installed on your device. Outdated versions may not support certain features required for rejoining groups.
-
Invitation Link: The simplest method to rejoin a group is via an invitation link. If a group administrator has removed you from the group, they can send you an invitation link to rejoin. Here's how:
-
Request to Rejoin: If you have been removed from a group and do not have an invitation link, you can request to rejoin:
- Open WhatsApp and go to the group chat where you were removed.
- Tap on the group name at the top of the screen. This will take you to the group info page.
- On this page, you'll see an option 'Rejoin Group'. Tap on it.
- Your request to rejoin the group will be sent to the administrators. They will have the option to approve or deny your request. If approved, you will be added back to the group.
-
Backup and Restore: In some cases, if you've been removed from a group and do not have an invitation link or the ability to request rejoining, you can use WhatsApp's backup feature:
- First, ensure that your WhatsApp chats are backed up regularly. You can check this by going to 'Settings' > 'Chats' > 'Chat Backup'.
- If you have a recent backup that includes the group you were removed from, you can restore your chats. This will add you back to all the groups you were part of before being removed.
- To restore, go to 'Settings' > 'Chats' > 'Chat Backup' and tap on 'Restore'. Follow the prompts to complete the process.
