Clear the app cache in settings to remove corrupted data. Confirm the link hasn't expired or been revoked by the host. Try opening the link on a different device or browser. If issues persist, ask the host to resend a new invite link or add you directly via your phone number in WhatsApp contacts.


To join a WhatsApp group via an invite link, you simply need to click on the link you received, then tap the "Join group" button in the app.



Step-by-Step GuideReceive the link: A group admin or an existing member (if permissions allow) must send you the group invitation link. This link can be shared via a text message, email, another messaging app, or found online. A legitimate WhatsApp group link will typically start with ://chat.whatsapp.com followed by a unique code.


Click the link: Tapping on the link will automatically open the WhatsApp application (or WhatsApp Web on a computer) and display a pop-up window or screen with information about the group.

Review the group info: On this screen, you can see the name of the group, its profile picture (if any), the group creator's name, and a list of current participants.

Confirm to join: Tap the green "JOIN

GROUP" button at the bottom of the screen.

Start chatting: You will instantly become a member of the group and can start sending messages and engaging with other members right away.

Important Notes 

Admin Approval: In some groups, the admin may have the "Approve new members" setting turned on. In this case, after you tap "Request to join," a group admin will be notified and must approve your request before you can fully enter the group.

Invalid Links: If you see an error message that the link is invalid or has been reset, it means the old link is no longer active. You will need to ask a group admin to provide a new, valid invite link or manually add you to the group.

Safety: Be cautious of public links found on unofficial websites or forums, as they may lead to spam or scam groups. Only join groups from trusted sources.
