What a good group needs
Whether it is a family of twelve or a housing society of four hundred, a group chat works when four things are in place. A name that tells a new member what the group is. A few rules that everybody has seen, so that nobody has to be corrected in public. A reason to talk, which a question or a poll supplies better than any number of greetings. And an admin who behaves like a host: welcoming, fair and quick to calm things down. This site gives you ready material for each of the four, written to be copied and changed.
Every list page also carries advice for its own kind of group. The family pages explain how to bring in rules without hurting an elder; the office pages say what a team group should never be used for; the school pages remind parents to protect children's privacy. Read those few paragraphs before you copy the list. They are what make the ready text work in a real group.
Questions people ask
How do I pick a good name for a WhatsApp group?
Choose a name that says what the group is, keep it under about 25 characters so that it is not cut off, and add something of your own, such as a surname, a place or a year. The group names pages have lists by type, and the name maker builds names from your own word.
What rules should a WhatsApp group have?
A short list works best: what the group is for, the hours for messages, no unverified forwards, no personal remarks, and what happens when a rule is broken. Ready sets for family, society, class, office and other groups are on the group rules pages.
How can I make a silent group active again?
Ask one easy question that everybody can answer in a line, or post a poll. Do it at a time when people are free, answer it yourself first and react to every reply. The conversation starters and poll ideas pages have ready material.
Is this site connected with WhatsApp?
No. It is an independent site by ShareYourGroup. WhatsApp is named only because most group chats use it; the ideas work in any chat app.
