How to rejoin a WhatsApp group if you left as an admin - briefly?

If you have accidentally left a WhatsApp group while serving as an admin and wish to rejoin, you will need the assistance of another administrator or group member who can invite you back into the group. This process cannot be initiated by the departed admin independently.

How to rejoin a WhatsApp group if you left as an admin - in detail?

If you have left a WhatsApp group as an admin and need to rejoin, there are specific steps you must follow due to the unique administrative role you had in the group. Here is a detailed guide on how to achieve this:

1. Remove Yourself from the Admin List:

   Since you were an admin, your name will still appear in the admin list even after leaving the group. The first step is to remove yourself from the admin list. To do this:

   • Open WhatsApp and go to the group where you were an admin.
   • Tap on the group name at the top of the chat screen.
   • Scroll down and tap on your name.
   • Select "Remove [Your Name] from admins."

2. Ask Another Admin to Remove You:

   After removing yourself from the admin list, you need to be completely removed from the group by another admin. Here's how:

   • Contact one of the remaining admins in the group and ask them to remove you from the group.
   • The admin can do this by opening the group info, selecting your name, and tapping "Remove [Your Name]."

3. Rejoin the Group:

   Once you have been completely removed from the group, you can rejoin it as a regular participant. Here’s how:

   • Ask one of the remaining admins or any member in the group to invite you back. They can do this by tapping on "Add participants" in the group info and entering your phone number.
   • Alternatively, if the group has a link for invitations, they can share that link with you, and you can use it to rejoin the group.

4. Request Admin Rights Again (if necessary):

   If you need admin rights again, you will have to follow these steps:

   • Once you are back in the group as a participant, contact one of the admins and request that they add you back to the admin list.
   • The admin can do this by opening the group info, selecting your name, and tapping "Make [Your Name] an admin."

By following these steps carefully, you will be able to rejoin the WhatsApp group even after leaving as an admin.
