How do I create and share invite links to a group chat on Instagram?
Admins of Instagram group chats can also create invite links and invite new members to join their conversations that way.
If you cannot find this feature, keep in mind that creating invite links is still not available for everyone.
Also, once this feature is activated, anyone in the group can use the link to add more members to the group chat. In addition, the admin can choose to reset the invite link. This means that the old link will be dysfunctional, and new users won’t be able to join the group through that link.
Keep in mind that a maximum of 32 people per day can join an Instagram group chat via an invite link.
Here is how to create an invite link:
- Tap the ‘plane’ or the ‘messenger icon’ in the top right of Feed.
- Tap on a conversation from your Chats list, then tap the group name at the top.
- Tap on ‘Invite link’.
- Tap on ‘Copy’ to copy the link and share it with anyone.
- Tap on ‘Send’ to share the invite link with a specific person or group of people.
