This is how you can transfer your WhatsApp groups to Signal
In Signal you will have to start from scratch, so the first step is to create a space for your group before moving it from WhatsApp. To do this, you just have to display the menu with the three dots and choose “New Group”, as you can see in the image:
Gives you the option to add participants before proceeding with the Group setup, but it's a step you can skip. So the next thing will be assign a name to create the group.
Once you create the group, Signal lets you activate a link to share it with the contacts you want to join the group:
So all that remains is to copy that link and paste it into our WhatsApp group so that members have direct access to the new group on signal. So those who want to follow our group just click the link and follow the instructions to join.
It is a simple and practical dynamic. And if you want to make sure that no strangers join your group, or you want to filter the contacts that will join your new group, activate the option “Approve requests” , as you see in the image above.
That way, no one can join your group on Signal without your permission. If you don't see the option “Invite people” from the main page of the group, you can look for it in Group Setting >> Group Link.
