Create Whatsapp Group

How to create a new whatsapp group? Follow the steps below.

• Open your WhatsApp.
• Tap the three dots in the upper right corner of your phone screen (1) and select New group (2). See pictures to be clearer.

Choose at least 1 participant who will be a member of your WhatsApp group. For example, I choose Jhon as a group participant. You can see in the picture below. You can cancel John’s membership by clicking the cross on Jhon’s name.

• After you select a group member, click the green button in the lower right corner of your screen.

• Next step, type the group name (4) as you need and then click the green button on your mobile phone screen. For example, I create a HowCreateIt.com WhatsApp group. The maximum name of the WhatsApp group is 25 characters, letters, numbers, and other characters.

• Now your WhatsApp group is ready to use.

• From the picture above we know the:
  • The name of the group: HowCreateIt.com
  • Member: You as Administrator and Jhon as member
  • The group icon is empty, we will change later
