Simple steps to making a WhatsApp group on iPhone or Android
Like most instant messaging applications, WhatsApp lets you create a group in order to message many people at once. You can create a group in WhatsApp by opening the Chats menu and selecting the "New Group" option. From there, you'll be able to add up to 256 people to a group as long as they're in your phone's contacts!
