If you’re a WhatsApp user, there’s a good chance you’ve seen the name “John” or “Jane” pop up in group chats more times than you’d like to admit. This is because WhatsApp groups are one of the most popular ways to communicate with your friends and family. And, as long as you know how to show your name in group chat, you can make sure everyone knows who’s talking to them. Here’s how:

  1. Open up a new chat window and type in “whatsApp.” This will open up a list of all the chats on your phone.
  2. Scroll down and find the one that pertains to your group chat. For example, if you’re a WhatsApp user with a group called “Parents,” then the list would likely include “Parents,” “Kids,” and so on.3. Type in your name (or an alias) into the top left corner of the chat window and hit enter.4. The chat will start automatically filling in with people who are currently in that chat room with you (assuming they’re not already aware of your presence).5. When it’s finished, type out a message telling everyone who was in the chat that you’re gone for now and that they should expect to hear from you soon again (or just stop talking altogether).6. Close the chat window and enjoy your free time!
