How to rejoin a WhatsApp group if you left it - in detail?
If you have accidentally or intentionally left a WhatsApp group and now wish to rejoin, there are several methods you can use depending on your situation. Here’s a detailed guide on how to accomplish this:
Method 1: Request an Invitation Link
- Open WhatsApp on your device.
- Navigate to the group chat that you wish to rejoin.
- If the group administrator has enabled the 'Invite via Link' feature, there will be a ‘Share Group Invite Link’ option at the top of the chat.
- Tap on this option and select 'Copy Link'.
- Send this link to an active member of the group or the group admin.
- The recipient can then use the link to add you back to the group.
Method 2: Use the Group Admin’s Assistance
- Contact the group administrator directly via a personal chat.
- Ask them to send you an invitation link or to manually add you back to the group.
- Once they do, follow the link provided or wait for the confirmation message that you have been added back to the group.
Method 3: Join Using a Group Link
- Obtain the group invite link from any member of the group who has access to this feature.
- Open WhatsApp on your device.
- Tap on the three dots (⋮) at the top-right corner of the screen and select 'New Group'.
- Paste the invitation link into the search bar.
- Press ‘Join Group’ to rejoin the group.
Method 4: Manual Addition by Admin
- Notify an active member or the group admin that you want to rejoin the group.
- The admin can then manually add you back into the group by following these steps:
- Open WhatsApp and go to the group chat.
- Tap on the group name at the top of the screen.
- Select 'Add Participant' from the menu.
- Search for your contact and select it to add you back to the group.
Important Considerations
- Group Settings: Ensure that the group settings allow members to be added by link or manually, as some groups may have restrictions in place.
- Admin Permissions: Only group admins can manage membership, so you will need their assistance to rejoin if you left the group yourself.
- Privacy Concerns: Be cautious when sharing invite links, as they can be used by anyone with access to them.
By following these detailed steps, you should be able to successfully rejoin a WhatsApp group even after leaving it.
