How can I send Whatsapp group link without admin?

WhatsApp has become one of the most popular messaging apps, with over 2 billion users worldwide. WhatsApp groups allow you to communicate and share media with multiple people at once. However, by default, only admins can share the invite link for people to join a WhatsApp group.

So how can you get the group link if you’re not an admin? While there’s no direct way to get the link without admin rights, there are some clever workarounds using third-party apps and tricks to grab an invite link from a current group member.

Why Would You Want the Link?

There are a few key reasons you may want to get the invite link for a WhatsApp group:

• Joining groups for networking or shared interests
• Gaining customers for a business group
• Spreading awareness about an event or cause
• Connecting with friends and family

The group admin often tightly controls who can join and limits link sharing. But with the right technique, you can get that coveted group link.

Technique 1: Ask an Admin or Member

The most straightforward way is simply to ask an admin or existing member to send you the invite link privately. Since the link never expires, they can share it with you directly even without admin rights.

Say you want to join your cousin’s family group. Simply message her asking if she can please send over the link so you can join. As long as she’s willing to share the link, you’ll now have it.

Some things to keep in mind with this method:

• The admin may not want to share the link publicly, so ask privately.
• Respect the group and admin if they decline sharing the link with you.
• Don’t spam group members asking for the link if the admin said no.

While simple, this method relies on getting someone to willingly share the link with you. If members refuse, you’ll need a different approach.

Technique 2: Use WhatsApp Plus

WhatsApp Plus is an unofficial mod that unlocks additional features not available on the standard version of WhatsApp. Most importantly for this purpose, it can extract group links without admin rights.

Here are the steps to use WhatsApp Plus to get invite links:

1. Download and install WhatsApp Plus instead of the official app.
2. Log in normally with your phone number.
3. Join the target group you want the link for.
4. Tap the group name at the top and select “Group Link”.
5. Copy the full invite link shown.

Now you have the link to share even without admin rights! Keep in mind WhatsApp Plus is against their terms of service.

Technique 3: Via Google Drive Backup

Every so often, WhatsApp automatically backs up your chat history and data to Google Drive. By downloading this backup, you can find group links too!

Here are the steps to get invite links from Google Drive backups:

1. Ensure WhatsApp is backing up your chats to Google Drive.
2. On your phone, open the Google Drive app.
3. Open the WhatsApp chat backup folder.
4. Find the most recent backup and download it.
5. Extract the archive file after downloading.
6. Open the Databases folder extracted.
7. Open msgstore.db.crypt12 using a SQLite editor/viewer.
8. Search for the group JID (unique ID) to find the invite link.

This method takes some technical skill but can work on the official WhatsApp app without any mods. Backup frequency impacts how current the links are.

Technique 4: Via WhatsApp Database Hack

For advanced users, directly hacking the WhatsApp database on your phone can reveal invite links. Use at your own risk!

Here are the steps for this database hack method:

1. Enable developer options and USB debugging on your Android phone.
2. Install database editing apps like SQLite Editor.
3. Connect phone to computer via USB cable.
4. Navigate to WhatsApp database at /data/data/com.whatsapp/databases.
5. Make a backup copy of msgstore.db.crypt12 before editing.
6. Open the database copy with an SQLite editor.
7. Search for the target group’s JID to find the link.

This gives you direct access to the WhatsApp database but requires root access on Android. Only use as a last resort.

Other Methods to Get the Link

A few other creative methods can get you the group link:

• Web Version: Open WhatsApp Web and look for the invite link in group info.
• Export Chats: Export your chat history and grep through it to find links.
• Group Links Sites: Check sites listing public group links to find relevant ones.

However, these may require admin rights or have limited success rates.

Joining Groups Without the Link

If you absolutely can’t get the group link, there are still a couple ways to try joining:

• Ask an admin to manually add you by phone number.
• On iPhone, search for the group name and request to join.

But without the link, joining remains difficult if the admin refuses to add you.

Conclusion

Getting the WhatsApp group link as a normal member can be tricky but is possible in several ways:

• Ask an admin or member to share invite link
• Use mods like WhatsApp Plus
• Extract from Google Drive backup
• Hack the WhatsApp database

Ideally, respect the admin’s wishes if they want to limit public links. But if you absolutely must join a group, these methods can grab the link for you without admin rights.

Just be responsible in how you use the group link once you obtain it. WhatsApp groups often have private conversations not intended for public view.
