I left a WhatsApp group, how can I rejoin it - briefly?

If you have accidentally left a WhatsApp group and wish to rejoin, you will need the assistance of an active member of that group. An admin or any participant can invite you back by sending you a link or adding you directly through the group settings.

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

If you have recently left a WhatsApp group and now wish to rejoin it, there are several methods you can use depending on the situation. Here is a detailed guide to help you navigate through the process:

1. Asking the Group Admin: The simplest way to rejoin a WhatsApp group is by asking one of the group administrators to add you back. Since you left the group, only an admin can invite you to rejoin. Here's how you can do it:

   • Open WhatsApp and go to the chat with the admin who can add you back.
   • Send a message requesting to be added back to the group. For example, "Hi [Admin's Name], I accidentally left the [Group Name] group. Could you please add me back?"
   • The admin will receive a notification allowing them to add you back to the group. Once they accept, you will be reinstated as a member of the group.

2. Creating a New Group: If the group was created by someone else and you are unable to contact the admin or if the admins refuse to add you back, you can create a new group with the same name and participants:

   • Open WhatsApp and tap on the "New Chat" icon.
   • Select "New Group."
   • Add the contacts of the members you want in the new group. You will need their phone numbers to do this.
   • Once all members are added, tap on "Next" and then name the group with the same name as the original group.
   • Tap on the "Create" button to create the new group.
   • Send a message to the group explaining that you created a new one because you were unable to rejoin the original group.

3. Using Group Invite Link: If the group has an invite link, you can use it to rejoin:

   • Ask any member of the group to share the invite link with you.
   • Open WhatsApp and tap on the "New Chat" icon.
   • Select "Invite Link."
   • Enter the invite link that was shared with you.
   • Tap on "Join Group" to rejoin the original group using the invite link.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully rejoin a WhatsApp group even if you have left it previously.
