How to Create a WhatsApp Group and Send an Invitation Link

  • A WhatsApp group chat link is a shareable invite that enables your contacts to join a group conversation by tapping on a hyperlink.  
  • WhatsApp group chats are a good way to include multiple people in ongoing conversations.
  • Group chats and invite links work for people who have either an Android or iOS device.  

WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging services available today, boasting more than 2 billion users across the globe. The Meta-owned app also offers the benefits of encrypted messages, giving its users more privacy than competing messaging platforms.

For those who value that feature, it makes WhatsApp more appealing for group messages than simply texting or using another app.   Creating a group chat is also a good way to stay connected with multiple users rather than sending individual messages. Here's how to create a group chat and send an invitation link to your contacts.

1. In the Chats tab of WhatsApp, tap on the New Chat button in the top right.

2. It is possible to add someone to a group without being an admin. As all you need is the invite link and then you can share it with the person whom you wish to add.

3. This can also be used by admins to let other people in the group add members but at the same time not give them other admin privileges like stopping others from changing group info or sending messages, removing members from the group, adding admins, and a lot more.

Now with the pros come the cons as well. Invite links can also be used to join the group without the admin’s permission.

How To Revoke Group Invite Link?

If someone gets access to the invite link then they can easily join the group without requiring approval.

This can lead to a lot of spam members in the group and things can get out of control. That said, you can stop it by revoking the link. Here’s how.

Please note that only group admins can revoke the link.

  1. Go to the Group Info screen.
  2. Tap on Invite via link.
  3. After that, select Revoke link and confirm.

And that’s it!

The previous invite link will be canceled and it will no longer work to join the group. If someone tries the revoked link to join the group then they will get the following message -“You can’t join this group because this invite link was revoked.”

Also, a new link will be created automatically for the group.

FAQs

Can I join a WhatsApp group?

You can join a WhatsApp group if you got a link to join or a QR code invite. If the group admin choses to use a QR code, and you are on Android, you need to download a third-party app to scan the code in order to be able to join.
