JAKARTA - Although WhatsApp users continue to decline, this chat application is still one of the most widely used by the world community, including Indonesia. Given the variety of interesting features that support communication and are easy to use, WhatsApp is still trusted by most Indonesians.

One of the features provided by the company is a group. Through the WhatsApp group, users can share information with many people at once. Of course, with a limit of 256 members.

When you have a WA group, adding new members can be a tedious activity. It is common knowledge, adding new members can only be done by an admin who has been appointed.

If you only added one member, it might not matter. But it is different if you, as admin, are asked to add several people at once. Inviting new members one by one would take some time.

Luckily, now there are alternative steps you can take when you want to invite new members. Namely by using the WA group link or QR code.

This step is guaranteed to make it easier and shorten the time it takes to invite new members to your WA group. For how to create a WA group link and QR code, see the steps below.

How to Create WhatsApp Group Links

Luckily, you can do these steps via a cellphone running the iOS or Android operating system. More complete, here is a description of how.

  • Open the WhatsApp application on the iPhone or Android phone that you are using
  • Select and enter the WA group that will be shared
  • Tap the WA Group name
  • Swipe the screen up until you find the Invite via Link menu, tap the menu
  • After that, WhatsApp will create a link from the WA group So you can share it with other users
  • Tap Send Link Via WhatsApp if you want to share it via the app, or Copy Link if you want to share it via other platforms

Later, each prospective group member can tap the link you sent to enter the WA group without requiring admin approval.

How to Create a WA Group QR Code

Apart from using the link, you can also send WA group invitations in the form of a QR code. Later, prospective members only need to move the QR code that was sent to be able to enter the WhatsApp group.

Here are the steps:

  • Open the WA application, enter the group, then tap the WhatsApp group profile
  • Swipe the screen up, then tap the Invite Via Link menu
  • There are several menus that appear, tap the QR Code menu
  • Show the code to prospective members to be scanned and immediately enter the group that has been made

If your WA group capacity is maximal, also you feel that there are too many strangers joining because the WA group link was spread without your knowledge, simply remove the link. So that the links that have been shared can no longer be used.
