If you are a WhatsApp group creator or administrator, you can change the group name, picture and description. Some people keep group names and descriptions very professional, especially if they are work or family related groups. Other people chose weirder or funny names.
Change Name or Description
If you want to change your group name or description, go to WhatsApp Web (an app) on your desktop or your WhatsApp app on your phone. Tap the group you want to change to enter the conversation screen.
Next, tap on the three dots that are in a vertical line. They are located in the upper right corner of your screen. Tap on “Group info”. This will bring up a screen where you can click the group picture to change it. You can click the pencil next to the group name to change the group name. You can also click the pencil icon next to the group description to change the group description.
How WhatsApp Groups Are Getting Popular
In most cases, groups and their invitations are shared on social media and people join as they join a Facebook group. Numerous apps claim to help you join many WhatsApp groups.
think tank
There was a group called ThinkTank. It initially began hosting a series of philosophical discussions surrounding world affairs, but soon turned into a slang match reminiscent of what 13-year-old girls wrote in YouTube comments. The group picture included a photo of Rodin’s thinker, and the description line was odd with a pinch of wit.
charcoal
Rick & Morty fans will know this group mascot as the once beloved parasite Pencilvester. Appearing only once on Rick & Morty, this beloved character has become an icon on many forums and is part of a popular meme featuring him and John Wick.
Initially, this group only formed because of the comment line, but eventually disbanded after a left wing supporter made the team completely AWAKEN the group. What being WOKE has to do with a talking pen is still a mystery.
Mr. Poopybutthole
Poopybutthole, who once appeared to be another one-time character on Rick & Morty, has actually become one of the show’s most beloved characters and is not only an Internet sensation, but a recurring character on the show.
The slogan “Ooh pee” told people volumes when used as a group description. Invitations to the group were posted on their Facebook group and their numbers were nicely populated. Things went a little dark for the band during the long stretch between seasons three and four, but things soon revived when season four began.
Oxygen Not Included
A short-lived WhatsApp group’s slogan is about one of the many ways to die in the game “No Oxygen Included”. Invitations were shared on the forums and brought together many fans of the game. Most of the conversations were about how the group should be named, and the rest were funny names for bases in the game. Here are just a few:
- Committee (the game is based on a comet)
- Nether Zone (see your nether zone)
- Deep Space Mine (ref Deep Space Nine)
- The Flatulent Weasel (ref Heroes of Olympus)
- 3rd Rock from the Sun (refer to the TV show of the same name)
angry gangstas
What originally started as a forum became a WhatsApp group when a team of comedy writers decided to collaborate over WhatsApp. The name was devised with the idea that angry gangsters won’t want you to talk to the police.
However, many members thought the tagline statement was a reference to a character from “The Fast Show.” The group collaborated for months to upload it to FunnyJunk until they all broke up after FunnyJunk executives started allowing comedy about animal cruelty on their website.
Funny Female Comedians
Invitations from this group circulated on the forums as part of a prank. It was a nudge to the absence of good female comedians, and probably a nudge to Kathy Griffith, who has had some sort of mental breakdown over the past few years.
Ironically, the group was intermittently populated by people who joined to check if they were members of the group. The band lasted as long as a joke.
Meet 2 Date
The sad thing is that the group “Meet 2 Date” was not created as a joke. The original creator founded this group in hopes of getting a date. As his description said, he was so lonely that he started a WhatsApp group and invited anyone he could find to join him.
Juicy Waffle Friends
Maybe this isn’t the funniest band name and description you can find. But it’s been floating around Facebook for a while, and it looks sweet and pretty original in its own way. Having the girls all together seems to complement the overall meaning and definition of the group.
Being “In” A Joke Can Often Be Funnier
Funny WhatsApp descriptions are just a few of the many examples where people add humor to their daily relationships. You can find humor in the weirdest places, from the comment sections of illegal copyright hacking sites to forums where people discuss the price of Bitcoin.
Just like the WhatsApp explanations shown in this article, most of the time the humor is very esoteric and just fun for the groups involved, but that’s almost half the fun.
