📷 How to Share Your Group via QR Code
If you have a physical shop or are attending a networking event, a QR code is the best way to share your group. On the same "Invite via link" page, simply tap QR code. You can take a screenshot of this code, print it out, or let people scan it directly from your phone screen to join instantly.
⚠️ Security Tip: How to Reset / Revoke a Link
Sometimes, your group link might be shared with people you don't want in your group, leading to spam. To secure your group, you must reset the link. This makes the old link permanently invalid!
- Go back to the Invite via link menu.
- Tap on Reset link at the bottom of the list.
- Confirm your choice. WhatsApp will instantly generate a brand new link, and anyone clicking the old one will get an error message.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can a normal member share the WhatsApp group link?
No. Only group Admins have the authority to generate and share an invite link. If you are a member, you must ask an admin to send you the link or make you an admin.
Does a WhatsApp group invite link expire?
No, the link does not naturally expire over time. It will remain active forever unless an Admin manually uses the "Reset link" feature.
How many people can join via the link?
A WhatsApp group currently holds up to 1024 members. Once the group hits that limit, the link will no longer allow new people to join until someone leaves.
