WhatsApp: Creating a group without contacts – what you need to know

by Flo

If you want to create a WhatsApp group without contacts, this works via an invitation link. However, this is only possible under one condition.

To create a WhatsApp group without contacts

Normally, you invite members to a WhatsApp group via your contacts saved on your smartphone.

  • But if you want to invite someone to the group whose contact you have not saved, send them an invitation link.
  • For this to work, you must be the administrator of the WhatsApp group.
  • Open the WhatsApp group you want to invite to and tap on the three dots in the top right corner.
  • Select “Add participant” here and then “Invite with link to group”.
  • WhatsApp then generates an invitation link. Below this you will find various options. For the first option “Send link via WhatsApp” you would need a contact.
  • But since you don’t have the contact, copy the link and send it to the relevant person by email, for example.
  • Alternatively, select “Share link” and send it via Twitter, Facebook or another messenger to invite people without a contact to your WhatsApp group.
