If you want to set up a group in Signal, you’ll need to know how to invite people to it. Inviting people from your contacts list is easy enough, but what if you want to invite people who aren’t on it? Keep reading to learn how to set up a group invite link in Signal.

What are Groups in Signal?

Groups in Signal allow you to communicate with multiple people in a single chat. Any messages sent in the chat are visible to all members, and by default, any member of the group can send messages to the entire group. Signal groups can have up to 1,000 participants. The person that creates the group has administrator privileges and can remove members from the group. The admin can also control who can send messages and start a call, as well as who can edit group info such as the group name and photo, and who can set the disappearing messages timer. The admin can also give admin privileges to other members of the group, too.

The invite link is beyond your control once you send it out, and may end up finding its way to people who you hadn’t intended to invite to your group. You can opt as the group admin to approve new members before they can join. To create a group invite link for a new Signal group:
