Create a group

   • Alternatively, click the New chat icon.

   • The subject limit is 25 characters.
   • You can add emoji to your subject by clicking the Emoji icon.
   • Optionally, add a group icon by clicking ADD GROUP ICON. You can choose to Take photo, Upload photo or do a Web Search to add an image. Once set, the icon will appear next to the group in your chats list.

Invite into groups via links

If you're a group admin, you can invite people to join a group by sharing a link with them. To share a group invite link:

1. Open the WhatsApp group chat, then click the group subject.
   • Alternatively, click Menu ( or ) in the top corner > Group info.
2. Click Invite to group via link.
3. Choose to Send link via WhatsApp or Copy Link.
   • If sending via WhatsApp, search for or select contacts, then click Send.
   • The admin can Revoke link at any time to make the previous invite link invalid and create a new link.

Note: Any WhatsApp user you share an invite link with can join the group, so only use this feature with trusted individuals. It's possible for someone to forward the link to other people. If so, those other people can also join the group and the group admin won't be asked to approve those people before they join.
