Question

How can I create a group, and send a single message to each person in that group, without other members of the group being aware (they should not know who are the members of the group) something like B.C.C. in email?

Community Answer

It won't be possible in a group. You can create a broadcast, then if you post in that broadcast it will go to all members individually who have been added to that broadcast. In one broadcast you can have 256 members.

If you created the group, it's impossible for you to be kicked out unless another group admin removes you.

What should you do if a contact won't appear in a group?

Make sure your contact in question is on WhatsApp, has the correct phone number, and has an up-to-date app. Otherwise, you should be able to add your contact.

Question

How do I make the group that the members are not able to respond?

Once you make a group, make sure you're the only admin. Then, click on the group name and scroll down until you find "Group Settings." Inside the group settings, there should be an option called "Send messages," and if you click on it, you can change "All participants" to "Only admins."

Question

How do I send my group link to my friend that wants to join my group?

Pimemorized

Top Answerer

If you click on the group name on the top of the chat, you'll be led to the page with the group information. If you scroll down to the participant list, you'll see an option to "Add participants" and to "Invite via link." As long as you're an admin, you should be able to click on that and get the link to share the group with your friend!
