I left a group in WhatsApp, how do I rejoin - briefly?

If you accidentally left a WhatsApp group and wish to rejoin, you will need to be invited back by another member of the group. Alternatively, you can create a new group with the same name and members, but this method may not preserve the previous chat history.

I left a group in WhatsApp, how do I rejoin - in detail?

If you have left a WhatsApp group and now wish to rejoin, there are several steps you can take to accomplish this. It's important to note that the process may vary depending on whether you were removed by an administrator or if you left voluntarily. Here is a detailed guide to help you rejoin a WhatsApp group:

  1. Check Your Phone Settings:

    • Ensure that your phone number is still registered with WhatsApp. If you've changed your phone number, you will need to update it within the app settings.
  2. Contact an Administrator:

    • Reach out to one of the group administrators. You can do this by sending them a direct message on WhatsApp or contacting them through another means if available.
    • Request that they add you back to the group. Administrators have the ability to invite members, so this is typically the most straightforward method.
  3. Use the Group Invite Link:

    • Some groups use an invite link for new members to join easily. If your group has such a link, ask any member or administrator to share it with you.
    • Click on the link and follow the prompts to rejoin the group.
  4. Create a New Group (Temporary Solution):

    • If all else fails, consider creating a new group with the same members. This can be done by selecting the "New Group" option in WhatsApp and adding the contacts of the members you want to include.
    • Note that this method is more time-consuming and may not be ideal if the original group had important conversations or media that you wish to retain access to.
  5. Reinstall WhatsApp (Last Resort):

    • As a last resort, you can try reinstalling the WhatsApp application. This process will delete all your chat history on that device, so use this option cautiously.
    • After reinstalling, verify your phone number and attempt to join the group again through an invite link or by contacting an administrator.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully rejoin a WhatsApp group even after leaving it.
