Note: Communities on WhatsApp is available in limited countries and may not be available to you yet. Check back to see when communities will be available in your area.
Only a community admin can make another member a community admin. A community can have up to 20 admins. The original creator of a community can’t be removed and will remain an admin unless they disable the community.
To assign an admin in a community:
- Open the WhatsApp community.
- Click the community name > View members.
- Scroll to the list of members.
- Click the member you’d like to make an admin > Make Admin > OK.
To remove a community admin:
- Open the WhatsApp community.
- Click the community name > View members.
- Scroll to the list of members.
- Click the admin you’d like to dismiss > Dismiss as Admin > OK.
Note:
- A community admin cannot dismiss the admin who created the community.
- You can remove yourself as a community admin as long as you are not the person who created the community.
