How to see your WhatsApp groups and their members

See who is in a group

Each member shows a name (when we know it) and phone number. The group owner and admins have an Owner or Admin badge, and your own number is marked (You). The group description, if it has one, is shown above the list.

1. Open My Groups in the sidebar, under Groups.
2. Type in the Search box to find a group by name.
3. Click the group to open it.
4. Scroll the member list. If the group has more than 8 members, use the Search members box to find someone by name or number.

Why a member shows "Number hidden by WhatsApp"

Some newer WhatsApp accounts are shared with linked devices without their phone number. We show a name when we have one from their messages or contacts, and otherwise this note.

Creating groups and adding this number

Groups can only be created from your mobile phone with this number, not from here. To work with an existing group, add your linked number to it on WhatsApp and it shows up in My Groups.

Make sure this number is not the only admin of a group. Add another person as an admin too, so you don't lose access to the group if this number is ever blocked.
