Change who can add members
Group admins can change group settings to allow members to add others to a group.
  1. Open the WhatsApp group chat, then click the group subject.
  2. Click Group settings.
  3. Choose to turn on Approve new members.
    • When turned on, admins must approve anyone who wants to join the group.
    • When turned off, this group is open for people to join without admin approval.
  4. Click Confirm.
Note: This option is turned off by default.
Members can directly contact an admin by clicking admins in the group, then clicking the name of the admin they'd like to message.
