A couple of minutes and you will have a comfortable place to chat with friends, family or colleagues.
Group chats are convenient for joint conversations when you need to quickly inform several people at once of any information or discuss it together. The number of users in WhatsApp groups is limited to 256 people. While in such a chat, you will see all the messages that any of the participants will send. In the same way, all your messages can be read by anyone present in the conversation.
You can select members directly at the stage of creating a group and later through its settings. Special links are also used to invite new members.
By clicking on them, anyone can join the conversation, so be careful and send an invitation only to those you trust. Everyone who receives your link will be able to forward it to other people, and they will also join. You can revoke the link if you wish. Then it will become invalid and no one else will be able to enter it.
After creating a group, you become its administrator and can add or remove members, as well as create invitation links and cancel them. In addition, it is allowed to appoint any of the users as an administrator, and then he will receive the same rights.
