WhatsApp Group Advice

March 7, 2019 9:32 AM

I need to create a WhatsApp group of ~75 people and none of them are currently in my contacts. Is there a faster way to import all these numbers than entering them manually?

My phone pulls contacts from my work Outlook account, but these people aren't in Outlook either. Maybe getting them into Outlook first would be easier than importing directly to WhatsApp, though? Any ideas?

do you need to be the one adding them? because whatsapp also allows you to create a "join" link that you can then send out, and then they can add themselves.

Response by poster: Yeah, I need to be creating it to ensure they all actually join.

Also, I forgot to mention I have all of the numbers in an excel spreadsheet.
