Can anyone other than admin add to WhatsApp group?

Quick Answer

By default, only WhatsApp group admins can add new members to a group. However, there are a few ways that other members can potentially add someone:

• The admin can enable “All participants” under Group settings > Add participants. This allows any current member to add new people.
• If someone has the group invite link, they can join the group without admin approval (unless it’s a private/locked group).
• There are some third-party apps that claim to let you add members without being admin, but many don’t work anymore.

So in summary, while admin approval is usually required, there are some exceptions where regular members can add new participants. But this depends on the group settings and link sharing set up by the admin.

Can WhatsApp group admin make other admins?

Yes, the original admin of a WhatsApp group has the ability to add other members as group admins. Here is how it works:

1. Open the WhatsApp group and tap on the Group name/subject at the top.
2. Tap on Group settings.
3. Tap on Add group admins.
4. Select the members you want to make admins.
5. Tap Add under their names to confirm.

The new admins will now have the same privileges and powers as the original admin. They can add/remove people, change group settings, and more.

However, there are a couple limitations:

• Only the original admin can remove admin privileges from other admins.
• If the original admin leaves the group, the other admins cannot add new admins. Only the original admin can appoint new admins.

So in summary, the original admin maintains overall control, but can share admin powers with multiple other members if desired. This allows help in managing larger groups.

Can a WhatsApp group have multiple admins?

Yes, a single WhatsApp group can have multiple admins at the same time. The steps are:

1. The original group admin taps on the group name/subject.
2. They tap on Group settings.
3. They choose Add group admins.
4. They select the members to make admins.
5. They tap Add to confirm.

Now all the selected members will have admin privileges. Features they get include:

• Adding/removing participants.
• Changing group settings.
• Changing group name, icon, description.
• Pinning messages.

There are no limits on how many admins a group can have. It depends on the original admin.

However, only the original admin can revoke admin privileges. And if they leave, no new admins can be added.

So in summary, multiple admins are possible for better group management, but the original admin remains in control.

Can an admin remove another admin on WhatsApp?

Yes, the original group admin on WhatsApp has the ability to remove other members from the admin role. The steps are:

1. The original admin opens the WhatsApp group and taps the group subject/name.
2. They tap Group settings.
3. They tap View group admins.
4. They tap Remove admin beside the name of the admin they want to demote.
5. They confirm again to remove admin privileges.

Now the selected admin will become an ordinary member with no privileges.

Things to note:

• Only the original group admin can remove other admins.
• Admins who were assigned the role cannot remove each other or the original admin.
• If the original admin leaves, existing admins cannot remove each other or appoint new admins.

So in summary, the original admin maintains overall authority. They can assign and revoke admin powers from members anytime as needed.

Can a removed admin rejoin WhatsApp group?

If an admin is removed from a WhatsApp group, they can rejoin the group only if:

• They have the invite link – They can use this to rejoin.
• Any group participant adds them back – Requires admin approval if group settings require it.
• The original group admin adds them back as an admin or participant.

However, once removed, the admin privileges are gone. To regain admin status, the original group admin must:

1. Add them back to the group.
2. Go to Group settings > Add group admins.
3. Select the removed admin and tap Add to make them admin again.

Without the original admin making them admin again, the removed person will join as an ordinary participant without privileges.

In summary, a removed admin can rejoin if they have the invite link or are added back. But they don’t regain admin privileges automatically. The original admin must explicitly add them as admin again.

What happens when you remove an admin WhatsApp?

Here is what happens when an admin is removed from a WhatsApp group:

• They lose all admin privileges and become an ordinary participant.
• They can no longer add/remove participants, change group settings, or appoint other admins.
• Their name is removed from the list of group admins.
• They will not see some admin-only items in the group settings menu.
• If they are re-added, they will not have admin privileges until the original admin explicitly makes them admin again.
• If they created separate groups for admin discussion, they lose access to those groups.
• Their admin designation/badge is removed from their name in the member list.

In essence, removing admin powers demotes them to an ordinary group participant with limited capabilities.

To regain admin status, the original admin must:

1. Add them back to the group
2. Go to Group settings > Add group admins
3. Designate the member as admin again

So in summary, removing admin privileges fully demotes the person to an ordinary participant until further action by the original admin.

Can a WhatsApp group creator leave and give admin rights?

Yes, the original group admin can leave a WhatsApp group and grant admin rights to someone else. Here is the process:

1. Admin selects the new admin and taps Make Group Admin in group settings.
2. The new admin gets a message saying “You are now a group admin”.
3. Original admin leaves the WhatsApp group.
4. The group continues with the newly appointed admin in charge.

However, there are a couple caveats:

• The new admin cannot appoint other admins. Only the original creator could.
• If the new admin leaves, the group will have no admins left. WhatsApp will remove the group.
• The original admin cannot rejoin unless invited by an existing participant.

So the original admin can leave and pass the torch, but group control is limited for the new admin. They cannot appoint subordinates or leave themselves.

In summary, transferring admin rights is possible but has limitations. The original admin cannot return without an invite from a participant.

Can an admin in WhatsApp add a removed user?

Yes, a group admin in WhatsApp can add back a user who was previously removed from the group.

When a user is removed from a group, their access is revoked. But the admin can invite them back in by:

1. Opening the WhatsApp group and tapping on the group subject/name.
2. Tapping on Group settings > Add participants.
3. Tapping on Invite via link to get the invite link.
4. Sharing the invite link directly with the removed member.

Using this invite link, the previously removed member can rejoin the group.

However, some things to note:

• If the group settings require admin approval, the admin will still have to approve them joining again.
• Their old messages will not be visible unless they had backed them up before being removed.
• They will not have any admin privileges unless promoted by original admin again.

In summary, a group admin can directly invite a removed member back into the group via the invite link. But some restrictions apply based on group settings.

What happens when the original admin leaves a WhatsApp group?

Here’s what happens when the original group admin leaves a WhatsApp group:

– Existing admins remain but cannot add or remove other admins. Only the original admin could do this.

– If all existing admins leave, the group is deleted entirely. Without the original admin, new admins cannot be appointed.

– Any participant can create a new group and add everyone back. But they won’t have the message history.

– If someone has the group’s invite link, they can rejoin even after the original admin leaves.

– The group name, icon, and description can still be changed by remaining admins.

– Admins can still add/remove participants and enable group invite links.

So in essence, remaining admins have limited powers. The group depends on at least one of them staying. If they all leave, there is no way to continue the group since the original admin is gone. Retrieving the message history also becomes impossible.

In summary, when the original admin leaves, the group is limited to existing admins who cannot appoint new ones. If they all leave too, the group is deleted.

Can you find out if you were removed from a WhatsApp group?

There are a few ways to potentially notice if you were removed from a WhatsApp group:

– The group will disappear from your list of joined groups.

– You will stop receiving any messages from the group.

– If you try searching for the group, it will not show up.

– If you click on any older messages from the group, it will state “You were removed from this group”.

– You won’t be able to rejoin through the group invite link. It will say “Group link is invalid”.

– You can ask other members if they can still see your name in the participant list.

– You won’t see updates to the group name, icon or description anymore.

– You won’t get notifications for any new messages posted after you left.

So while WhatsApp does not directly notify you, there are enough signals to deduce if you have been removed from a group. The biggest giveaway is that the group disappears from your list.

In summary, WhatsApp provides indirect indicators through the app’s behavior to determine if you were removed from a group by an admin.

If a WhatsApp group admin leaves, will the group be deleted?

The group will not be deleted immediately if the original admin leaves a WhatsApp group. Here is what happens:

– If other group admins exist, the group will continue normally with the remaining admins in charge.

– The existing admins cannot appoint new admins since only the original admin had that power.

– If all the remaining admins leave the group too, then the group is deleted entirely.

– As long as at least one admin stays, the group remains active.

– Anyone with the group’s invite link can rejoin, even if admin has left.

So the group only gets removed when no group admins are left after the original admin exits.

In essence, the group depends on existing admins to stay alive after the creator leaves. If they all go too, the group vanishes along with its message history.

In summary, the WhatsApp group persists after the original admin’s departure as long as other admins remain. If all admins leave, the group is deleted.

Conclusion

In conclusion, while WhatsApp group admins have overall control, there are some nuances:

– Regular members cannot add people by default, but admin can enable this.

– Original admin maintains supreme powers including adding, removing and demoting other admins.

– If original admin leaves, remaining admins have limited powers and must stay to keep group alive.

– Removing an admin fully strips their privileges unless original admin promotes them again.

– Original admin can appoint a new admin before leaving but this has caveats.

– There are signals to notice if you were removed from a group by an admin.

So while admins have authority, there are special considerations depending on whether they are the original admin or not. Understanding these subtleties helps navigate the powers dynamics in any WhatsApp group.
