How to create a group chat in WhatsApp

Messaging one person with WhatsApp is great because it's a private chat and you can have all the inside jokes you want, without anyone feeling left out. Sometimes, however, you need the whole squad on board. That's where group chat comes in. Let's get started.

1. Launch WhatsApp from your Home screen or from the app drawer.
2. Tap the menu icon on the top right of the screen. It's the three vertical dots.

1. Tap New group.
2. Type a group subject in the "Type group subject here…" field. Tap the smiley face on the righthand side to add emojis if you like.
3. Tap Next on the top right of the screen.

1. Type a contact's name into the field.
2. Tap a contact to add them to the group.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to add more contacts.
4. Tap Create on the top right of your screen to create your group chat.

1. Tap the add icon, which looks like a plus sign, to open your contacts list.
2. Tap the contact you'd like to add to the group. You can add multiple contacts to your group simply tapping the box next to their names.

1. Tap Done.
2. Tap Create to enter your group chat.

Now you'll be able to send all the texts your friends can handle, and you'll be able to do it for free, so long as you're connected to the internet. Receiving messages in WhatsApp is the same as receiving regular texts. Just don't forget that if you're using WhatsApp without a Wi-Fi connection, you could be racking up data charges.

How to send a message via WhatsApp without saving the recipient's number in contacts (Updated: two more ways)

X

Use Google search when it was necessary to write in WhatsApp to a person whose number we would not like to store in the contact list on our phone. You can, of course, add it to your contacts, and delete it after sending the message, but there is an easier and more reliable way to do this.

For this you will need:

• Whatsapp app installed on your smartphone or tablet;
• Any web browser.

To send a message to a subscriber whose phone number is not in your contacts list, you need to do the following:

Open any web browser on your smartphone and enter the following address in the web address or search field:

https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=хххххххххх

where ххххххххххх is the phone number of the recipient of your message in international format with the country and operator code, but without the + in front of it. For example: 19123123123 for the USA, 7

All you have to do is confirm your consent to send a message to the number you need, and then dial it in the opened WhatsApp application text and send in the same way as you do when sending messages in chats with recipients from your Contacts.

The sender's number will not be saved in Contacts.
