How to join a WhatsApp group
You may be automatically added to a group if you’ve already chatted with the group creator on WhatsApp. If not, the process of joining a group via an invite link is easy, and it’s the same whether you have an Android or an iPhone:
1. Download WhatsApp from the Google Play Store on Android or the App Store on iPhone and create an account, if necessary.

When people create a group, they have the option to use a QR code, as an alternative to sending a link. If that's the case and you have an iPhone, you can use your phone's camera to scan the link and join.
But for those with an Android, you'll have to download a third-party QR code reader via the Google Play Store in order to join.
