How to create a WhatsApp group invite link, with a short link and QR code
If you run a WhatsApp group, people can join with an invite link instead of you adding each one. WhatsApp creates the link for you, and you can copy it from the group's details in a few taps.
The link is long and easy to mistype, and a long link is awkward on a poster or a business card. Whatslynk wraps it in a short link and a QR code, counts how many people open it, and lets you change the group behind it later. It does not list or promote groups: it is for sharing your own.
