I was removed from a WhatsApp group, how to rejoin - in detail?

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

1. Check Your Notifications: When you are removed from a WhatsApp group, you will receive a notification indicating that you have been removed. This notification will also provide an option to rejoin the group if it is still available. Simply tap on the "Rejoin Group" button in the notification to request access back into the group.

2. Ask an Administrator: If the option to rejoin via a notification isn't available, you can ask one of the group administrators to add you back to the group. Here’s how:

   • Open WhatsApp and go to the chat with the administrator.
   • Send them a message requesting to be added back to the group.
   • The administrator will receive an invitation link which they can send to you.
   • Tap on the link in the message to rejoin the group.

3. Use the Group Invite Link: Some groups have an invite link that is shared with members or posted in the group description. If you know someone who is still in the group, ask them to share the link with you. Once you have the link:

   • Open WhatsApp and navigate to the "Groups" section.
   • Tap on the "+" icon to create a new group.
   • Instead of creating a new group, tap on "Join Group" at the bottom.
   • Enter the invite link into the provided field and tap "Join".
4. Check Your Group Settings: If you are an administrator of the group, you might have the ability to rejoin depending on the group settings. However, if you were removed by another administrator, you will need their assistance to regain access.
5. Backup and Restore: In some cases, removing a user from a group can lead to data loss for that user. Ensure you have backed up your chat history before attempting to rejoin the group. You can restore your chats by tapping on "Settings" > "Chats" > "Chat Backup".

It's crucial to remember that being removed from a WhatsApp group is at the discretion of the group administrators, and they have the final say in whether you are allowed back into the group. If your request to rejoin is denied, it may be best to respect their decision and consider other ways to stay connected with the group members.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully rejoin a WhatsApp group after being removed.
