WhatsApp groups are a feature that allows users to create a chat space for multiple people to communicate together, useful for planning events, group projects, or staying in touch with friends and family
Creating a WhatsApp Group
- Tap the "New chat" icon, then select "New group."
- Choose contacts to add (up to 1024 members).
- Enter a group name (subject) up to 100 characters, optionally add emojis.
- Add a group icon by taking/uploading a photo or choosing an emoji/sticker.
- Finish by clicking the create button
Inviting Members
- Group admins can invite people by sharing an invite link.
- The invite link can be sent via WhatsApp or copied to share elsewhere.
- Admins can reset the invite link to invalidate the old one.
- Any WhatsApp user with the link can join, so it should be shared only with trusted people
Group Features
- Members can send messages, images, videos, and make group voice or video calls.
- Group video calls support up to 32 participants directly from the group chat.
- Group info can be edited by admins, including the group name, icon, and description
Finding and Joining Groups
- There are apps and websites that list WhatsApp group invite links by category, allowing users to join groups of interest by clicking the invite link
In summary, WhatsApp groups facilitate group communication with up to 1024 members, flexible invitation options including invite links, and support for group calls and rich media sharing
