Group Descriptions on WhatsApp

The Group Description is a short summary of what the group is about, its purpose, guidelines, or any other relevant information. 

When users join the group, they can easily get to know about the group through its description. This can help avoid confusion and ensure that all members are on the same page regarding the group’s objectives and guidelines.

Note: If you are an ordinary member of a group, the ability to change a group’s description depends on the settings set by the Admins or owner of the group. While some Admins restrict users from changing group descriptions others freely allow it so you can change the description to your liking.
