Step 1: Open WhatsApp
To begin, open the WhatsApp application on your smartphone. You’ll find the familiar green icon with a white phone inside it. Simply tap on the icon to open the app.
Step 2: Go to Settings
Once you’re inside the WhatsApp app, navigate to the top-right corner of the screen. Tap on the three vertical dots to open the menu. From the available options, select “Settings”.
Step 3: Tap on Account
A list of settings will appear when you open the WhatsApp settings. Look for the “Account” option and tap on it to proceed.
Step 4: Manage Invitations
In the “Account” settings, search for and tap on the “Manage Invitations” option. This will open the settings related to WhatsApp invitations and privacy.
Step 5: Adjust Invitation Permissions
Once you’re in the “Manage Invitations” settings, you’ll see various options to control your WhatsApp invitations. Here, you can manage who can send you invitations and decide whether everyone, only contacts, or nobody can invite you to join a WhatsApp group.
If you choose “Everyone”, it means that anyone who has your phone number can add you to a WhatsApp group without your permission. If you select “Only Contacts”, only people in your address book will be able to send you invitations. Lastly, if you want to completely stop receiving invitations, choose “Nobody”.
Step 6: Save Settings
After adjusting your invitation permissions according to your preference, save the changes by tapping on the “Save” or “Done” button. The way this is labeled may vary depending on your device.
Step 7: Done!
Congratulations! You have successfully removed WhatsApp invitations by managing your invitation permissions. From now on, you can enjoy a more private and peaceful WhatsApp experience without unwanted group invites.
Remember, if you ever change your mind and want to receive WhatsApp invitations again, you can always revisit these settings and adjust them accordingly.
- Pro tip: If you still receive unwanted WhatsApp invitations, consider blocking those contacts individually or using the privacy settings to limit who can see your profile and contact you.
