WhatsApp, the world’s most popular messaging application, continues to develop and add new features to adapt to new eras. One of the most anticipated additions was the ability to send messages without adding the number as a contact.

One thing that gets tedious over time is adding people to a group because we have to do it one by one. But we tell you one more way to do this. no need to add them manually.

Stop adding your contacts, let them do it themselves

We do not have any major difficulties when it comes to creating groups on WhatsApp. All you have to do is press the button we see in the upper right corner, which has three small vertically arranged dots. Then the “New Group” option can be seen with the naked eye. From here it’s easy for everyone, but There’s a direction that could turn into a real mess: invite people.

Just because it’s simple doesn’t mean it’s not confusing, especially endless contact listAs it could happen to us. Don’t worry, it won’t be a problem because there is a way to bypass our list and still invite them.

This is about using a second way that WhatsApp provides us: invite a group via linkor using a QR code generated by the app. Below we tell you step by step:

• Open WhatsApp and tap the three-dot button, then tap “New Group.”
• Next we will see our contact list. In this step we will select only one contact (the minimum number of contacts WhatsApp requires to create a group).
• Tap the next button indicated by the arrow.
• Now we need to enter a name for the group. We play again next.

Our group will be formed correctly and we will be free add people. However, as we said at the beginning, they can do this if we choose to save time and effort. To create the group invitation we must follow these simple steps:

• Once you are in that group, click on its name to see details.
• Scroll down and in the “Attendees” section you will see an option called “Invitation Link”. We will press this option.

• WhatsApp will show us the link that we can send by clicking Share button. Or, if we wish, we can also choose the QR code that appears on the screen.

Then we only have Send QR code or link to those who want to join, through another group, or by posting privately. In this way, we will avoid wasting time using the default method, which requires reviewing our contact book.
