How to Create a Direct Link for Your WhatsApp Group

WhatsApp allows group communication where people with a common agenda can chat together as a group. Anyone on WhatsApp can create a group and add participants to the group. However, it may be tedious to add members one by one, especially if they are many.

WhatsApp has devised a way to invite participants to join groups via links. This means that you can send an invite link to your WhatsApp contacts that will enable them to join your group. In another related article, we highlighted how you can leave a WhatsApp group without people knowing.  This piece highlights how you can create a direct link for your WhatsApp group.
