How to search for WhatsApp group participants

Whatsapp allows you to search your message threads. You can search all threads at once, or you can search for a particular thread

Thread search is useful for obvious reasons; It is an easier way to remember a part of a conversation. For example, if you've decided on a day or an hour to meet someone, the search will help you find them without scrolling through the entire conversation. Whatsapp has just added the group participant search in its most recent update. Now you can search for WhatsApp group participants.

Whatsapp has group conversation threads and if you are the administrator of a group, you control who is in the group. If you are trying to avoid someone in a group for whatever reason, you may want to know if you are in the group or not. Regardless of why you might want to search for WhatsApp group participants, the fact is that now you can. You do not need to be the administrator of a group to search for its participants.

Search for WhatsApp group participants

Open WhatsApp and tap on the group conversation thread you want to search. Touch the group name at the top to go to the group details page. Scroll down and you will see a new section called 'Participants'. It will tell you how many people are in the current group. Next to it, you will see a search option. Play it. You can search for WhatsApp group participants by name or by phone number.

If you touch a participant in the group, you have the option to view their information, call them, send a direct message, or verify their security code. This will not reveal information about a participant that would otherwise be hidden from you. For example, if a participant is not your contact, their information will not reveal their name. The call, message and security code verification options will still be there.

This is mainly a tool that benefits WhatsApp group administrators. If you manage multiple groups on Whatsapp, this tool can be used to control who is added to which group and avoid unnecessarily adding the same person to multiple groups. If you think this compromises the privacy of other participants, that is not the case. All members of a group chat have always had the option to add someone from a group as a contact. Their phone numbers and names have always been visible to everyone else in the group. The direct call button is new because it allows you to call someone without adding them as a contact, but again, not a big privacy issue
