Tips for other WhatsApp group owners

  • Turn on admin approval

    In group settings, require admin approval for new members. Invite-link floods show up as a queue you can reject in bulk.

  • Watch mixed country codes

    A Chennai local group suddenly getting +63, +234, or other non-India dial codes via the same invite is a classic spam pattern.

  • Reject self-added clusters

    When many numbers appear at once, each “added by” themselves from the invite link, treat the batch as hostile until proven otherwise.

  • Rotate the invite when flooded

    Revoke and recreate the invite link after a flood. Publish the new link only from a trusted page — not in open comments.
