Create WhatsApp group

If you create a group on WhatsApp, you can have a group chat with the members and, for example, clarify organizational matters. In this tip, you will learn how to create a WhatsApp group on both an Android and an Apple device, and what you need to consider.

Create WhatsApp group on an Android device?

1. After opening the Android WhatsApp, press your menu button. The "New Group" field appears. Choose this.
2. Now you are already in the area where you can create a WhatsApp group. All you have to do is enter a name for the group chat and you can optionally select a group picture. Both picture and name can be seen by each group member. (see the screenshot)
3. You can then add up to 50 members to the group. This works by adding the names with a "+" sign or typing them in completely.
4. Pressing "Create" confirms your entries and establishes the WhatsApp group.

Set up a WhatsApp group on an Apple device

On an iPhone or iPad, do the following:

1. After you have opened WhatsApp and are in the "Chat" view, you can tap on the "New Group" button.
2. Now enter a name for your group chat that can be seen by all members. Optionally, a group picture can also be defined.
3. You can then add up to 50 members to a group by adding them using the "+" key or by typing in the full name.
4. Press the "Finish" button - your group chat will be created.
