In a report last month, we
learnt about the anticipated feature of ‘Public Group invites via links’ by Android Police who spotted few translation strings hinting about the possible plan by the Facebook-owned company.
WhatsApp group invite feature is essentially a way to get more people in a group without having their phone numbers. It will allow a person to create a link to join a group and then share it to other via different apps, so in that case anybody who has the link from anywhere will be able to join that group. Even further you may be able to generate a QR code, or write it to an NFC tag, and then share it with anybody or can put it on web for people to join. We’ll know more about this once the feature goes live for everyone.
Most messengers now have a group invite link feature. Once this feature is gotten and enabled on your phone, you will be able to invite people to join your WhatsApp group by simply clicking on a link.
The Group links functionality is partially live in WhatsApp’s latest beta version 2.16.102. So if you have an invite link already, then you can join the group but you can’t issue the invites to groups as of now.
HOW TO ACTIVATE WHATSAPP GROUP INVITE LINK
Download the latest APK file from the APK mirror website to watch it in action. Once you try to invite friends / people using the public group invite link, it’ll try to verify the invite and then fail. If you do get a working link though, you’ll see the name of the group, the phone number / name of the person who created it (depending on whether they’re in your address book), and the number of participants.
