Introduction

Welcome to the guide for the WA Group Management tool! This feature allows you to easily create new WhatsApp groups and add members to your existing groups, all without leaving the app. It connects to your WhatsApp account securely, similar to how WhatsApp Web works on your computer.

With this tool, you can:

• Create brand new WhatsApp groups with participants from your contacts.
• Add new members to any of your existing WhatsApp groups.

1. Getting Started

Before you can manage groups, you need to connect the app to your WhatsApp account. This is a one-time setup that links your phone to our management engine.

Opening the Group Management Screen

1. Navigate to the “WA Group Management” section in the app.
2. You will see a Connection Status card at the top of the screen showing the current state.
3. Wait while the app prepares the connection engine. You’ll see “Connecting…” during this time.

Connecting Your WhatsApp Account

You have two options to connect:

Option A: Using Pairing Code (Recommended)

1. Enter Your Phone Number: Type your full phone number with the country code (e.g., +91 for India, +1 for USA) in the phone number field.
2. Tap “Get Pairing Code”: A unique 8-digit code will appear on your screen (formatted as XXXX-XXXX).
3. Open WhatsApp on Your Main Phone: Go to Settings > Linked Devices > Link a Device.
4. Tap “Link with phone number instead”: Enter the code shown in the app.
5. Done! The status will change to “Connected”.

Option B: Using QR Code

1. Tap “Or Scan QR”: A scannable code will appear on your screen.
2. Open WhatsApp on Your Main Phone: Go to Settings > Linked Devices > Link a Device.
3. Point Your Camera at the Code: Scan the code shown on the screen.
4. Done! The status will change to “Connected”.

Note: If you have connected before, the app may remember your session and automatically reconnect. You’ll see “Restoring session…” during this time.

2. Creating a New WhatsApp Group

Once connected, you can create new groups directly from this app!

Step 1: Enter the Group Name

In the “Create New Group” section, type a name for your group (maximum 25 characters). Choose something meaningful that your members will recognize.

Step 2: Add Participants

1. Tap the “+” button next to “Select Participants”.
2. Your phone’s contact list will appear.
3. Select all the people you want to add to the group. You can pick multiple contacts at once.
4. Tap confirm. The selected contacts will appear in a list showing their names and phone numbers.
5. You can see a count showing how many people you’ve selected (e.g., “5 selected”).

Tip: Want to remove someone? Just tap the remove button next to their name in the list.

Step 3: Create the Group

1. Tap “Create Group”: The app will process your request.
2. Wait a moment: A loading indicator will show while the group is being created.
3. Success! You’ll see a confirmation message with your new group’s name. The group now exists in your WhatsApp!

Important: You must have at least one participant to create a group. The group name is required.

3. Adding Members to an Existing Group

Already have a group and want to add more people? This tool makes it easy!

Step 1: Select Your Group

1. Look for the “Add Members to Existing Group” section below the create group area.
2. Tap the “Select Group” dropdown. A list of all your WhatsApp groups will appear.
3. Choose the group you want to add members to.

Tip: Don’t see your group? Tap the “Refresh Groups” button to reload the latest list from WhatsApp.

Step 2: Select Members to Add

1. Tap the “+” button next to “Members to Add”.
2. Your contact list will open. Select the new members you want to add.
3. The selected contacts will appear in a list with their details.
4. You can see a count of how many new members you’re adding.

Step 3: Add Members

1. Tap “Add Members”: The app will start adding each person to the group.
2. Wait for completion: A loading indicator shows the progress.
3. See results: A message will tell you how many members were successfully added (e.g., “5 members added successfully”).

Good to know: After adding members, the list clears automatically so you can add more people if needed.

4. Understanding the Connection Status

The colored dot at the top tells you the current state:

• ● Orange (Connecting): The app is trying to establish a connection.
• ● Orange (Waiting for Scan): A QR code or pairing code is ready for you to use.
• ● Green (Connected): You’re connected and ready to manage groups!
• ● Red (Not Connected / Error): Something went wrong. See troubleshooting tips below.

5. Troubleshooting Tips

Connection Problems

• “Connecting…” takes too long: Check your internet connection. Try closing and reopening the app.
• QR Code not appearing: Tap “Or Scan QR” again to request a fresh code.
• Pairing Code not working: Make sure you entered your phone number correctly with the country code. The code expires after a few minutes, so try requesting a new one.

Connection Keeps Dropping

• Ensure your main WhatsApp phone has a stable internet connection.
• If prompted, tap “Retry” to reconnect. The app will attempt to reconnect automatically up to 3 times.
• If connection issues persist, close the app completely and start fresh.

Can’t See My Groups

• Make sure you are connected (green status).
• Tap the “Refresh Groups” button to reload the group list.
• Only groups where you are an admin may allow you to add members (WhatsApp restriction).

Member Addition Failed

• The person may have privacy settings preventing them from being added to groups.
• You may not have admin rights in that group.
• The phone number may not be registered on WhatsApp.

6. Best Practices

• Check participants before creating: Review the list of selected contacts before tapping “Create Group” to avoid adding wrong people.
• Use meaningful group names: Choose clear, descriptive names so members understand the group’s purpose.
• Refresh groups regularly: If you’ve created new groups directly in WhatsApp, tap “Refresh Groups” to see them here.
• Remove unwanted contacts: Before creating a group or adding members, you can tap the remove button next to any contact to deselect them.
