Whatsapp: Find groups: This is how it works

Finding Whatsapp groups is relatively easy. You can use various methods to do this, but not all Whatsapp groups are public

Find WhatsApp groups: This is how you proceed

Some Whatsapp groups are only accessible via invitations or specific links. Be careful when joining unknown groups and always check the group rules and guidelines to make sure they meet your expectations.

• If someone has sent you an invitation link to a Whatsapp group, simply click on the link. This will add you to the group if you have Whatsapp installed on your device.

• You can also ask friends or contacts directly for group invitations. If someone you know is part of a group, they may be able to add you.

• You can also find groups using the group search function. To do this, open Whatsapp and go to the chat tab. Tap on the search bar at the top. Then enter a keyword or the name of the group you are looking for. Whatsapp will display suitable group suggestions if they are public or if you are already a member.

• In some cases, groups can be advertised via social media, forums or websites. You can check for Whatsapp groups on these platforms and follow the instructions to join them.

Find WhatsApp groups: What you should keep in mind

Before you interact with Whatsapp groups, you should of course have downloaded and installed the messenger. When finding and joining Whatsapp groups, there are a few things to keep in mind to protect your privacy.
