How to send a group invitation on WhatsApp - in detail?

To send a group invitation on WhatsApp, follow these detailed steps:

1. Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your mobile device.

2. Create a New Group (if you haven't already):

   • Tap on the three dots or 'More options' in the top right corner of the screen.
   • Select 'New group'.
   • Add participants by tapping on the plus sign or 'Add participant'. You can select contacts from your phone book or enter a phone number manually.
   • Once you have added all desired participants, tap on the arrow icon in the bottom right corner to create the group.

3. Invite New Members:

   • Open the group chat by tapping on its name in the 'Chats' list.
   • Tap on the group name at the top of the screen to open the group info page.
   • On the group info page, tap on 'Invite via link'. If you don't see this option, it might mean that your administrator settings do not allow new invitations. You may need to adjust these settings or contact the admin for assistance.
   • A link will be generated. Tap on 'Copy link' to copy the invitation link to your clipboard. Alternatively, you can tap on the share icon to send the link directly via other messaging platforms, email, or social media.

4. Adjust Group Settings (Optional):

   • To manage who can join the group using the invitation link, tap on 'Group settings' on the group info page.
   • You can choose between three options: 'Anyone', 'My contacts', and 'Your invitations'. Selecting 'Anyone' allows anyone with the link to join, while 'My contacts' restricts access to your phone book contacts only. 'Your invitations' is the most secure option, as it requires you to approve each new member before they can join.
   • After making your selection, tap on 'Done'.

5. Send the Invitation Link:

   • Paste the copied link into a message and send it to the desired recipients. You can do this within WhatsApp or any other communication platform you prefer.

6. Monitor New Members (Optional):

   • If you have set your group settings to 'Your invitations', you will receive a notification when someone tries to join the group using the link. You can then approve or reject their request.

By following these steps, you can effectively send and manage group invitations on WhatsApp, ensuring that only the intended recipients gain access to your group chat.
