How to find a group in WhatsApp

WhatsApp groups are great ways to share news and bring friends and family together. They can also be a great source of information about your favorite brand or blogger. But if you're new to WhatsApp or aren't particularly tech-savvy, you might not know how to join different groups.

Do not be afraid. You have landed on the right page. Whether you're searching by name or ID, we'll help you find exactly what you're looking for. Additionally, we will share tips for finding group members and admins in any WhatsApp group.



How to find a WhatsApp group by name

Let's get some things clear first. If you are a WhatsApp user, you can only find private or public groups on WhatsApp if you are already there. On the other hand, it is impossible to find a private or public group of which you are not a member unless the administrator sends you an invitation.

If you're looking for a WhatsApp group you're already in, here's how to find it:

  1. Open WhatsApp on your iOS or Android device.
  2. Tap the search icon at the top of the screen.
  3. Type the name of the group you are looking for.
  4. Matching results will appear in the results.
  5. Tap the group to access it.

It is possible to find groups that do not require admin permission for you to join. You can do this through third-party apps. However, unless you're sure you can find a specific group this way, we don't recommend using these apps often. Many users report concerns about receiving group invites promoting sensitive content after joining these apps.



If this works for you, follow the steps below.

iPhone or iPad users

WhatsApp allows iPhone and iPad users to connect to third-party apps to explore different public groups and join them without an invitation. Before installing these applications, please note that their source is not always reliable. One of the most popular apps on the App Store to find WhatsApp groups is “Groups for WhatsApp. Here's what you need to do:

  1. Go to the App Store and search for the “Groups for WhatsApp” app.
  2. Install the app on your iPhone or iPad.
  3. Open the app and connect your WhatsApp account to it.
  4. Find the groups you want to join. You can choose between different categories as well as recently active groups.
  5. Press the "Join" button to enter.

Android phone or tablet users

Android users can choose from various apps on the Google Play Store that offer databases of tons of WhatsApp groups to join. The option with the largest group selection is "What are social group links." " 

  1. Go to the Google Play Store and download the “What are Social Group Links” app. It is one of the few apps with a good rating.
  2. Install the app and launch it.

For PC users

If you use WhatsApp on a PC, there are some great websites explicitly created to post links to WhatsApp groups that anyone can join. Just do a Google search for terms like "WhatsApp group links", "WhatsApp groups to join" or follow the steps below.



  1. Go to the WhatsApp Group Links website.
  2. Select a group topic for the group you want to search.
