How to add people to WhatsApp groups without saving them on your contacts

The facebook-owned instant messaging platform is one of the most widely used chat apps across the globe. The app offers several features, such as voice and video chat, group chat, etc. The group chat feature comes in handy when people want to share information or have a discussion on a topic among their friends and family, business partners, colleagues, etc.

Most of us must be familiar with the process of creating a group on WhatsApp. Once the group is created, we need to add members/participants from our contact list that means the group admins first have to save every member contact in their smartphone and then add them to the group which is a tedious job if there are too many members in a group. What if, there’s a way that allows adding members without saving their contact information. Well, there is a way built right into WhatsApp.

WhatsApp has a group invite link feature that allows admins to add members to a group without saving the contact information of every participant.
