How do WhatsApp group links work?

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Group invite links can only be created inside WhatsApp by a group admin: open the group, tap its name › Invite via link, then copy or share the link (chat.whatsapp.com/…). Anyone with it can ask to join or join directly, depending on the group settings. The generator above makes one-to-one chat links to a phone number, not group links.
