How to Rejoin a Removed Facebook Messenger Group

If you've been removed from a group chat in Messenger, your options are limited. Here's how to navigate the situation and get back in the conversation.

What to Do If You Were Removed from a Messenger Group

If you were removed from a group chat in Messenger, the platform won't allow you to re-add yourself back. However, there are ways to attempt getting back in touch with the group.

Contact a Group Member

The first thing you should do is reach out to a member who is still in the group. They can either add you back or help facilitate an invitation.

Create a New Group

If rejoining the existing group isn't an option, consider creating a new group and inviting those members. This requires some effort but can be a good solution if you value the ongoing communication with the group.

Respect Group Dynamics

Before attempting to rejoin, it's important to understand why you were removed. Consider speaking with the group members or administrator to discuss the reasons behind the removal. This can prevent future misunderstandings.

How to Add Yourself Back on iOS

On an iPhone, the process to remove yourself from a group chat involves blocking the chat. This effectively removes you from the conversation but not from the people involved.

To rejoin, follow these steps:

Go to your list of chats. Open the group chat. Click on the 'Add Member' option.

Keep in mind that you would need a member of the group to add you back, and the administrator would need to approve the request.

Alternative Methods

There are alternative methods, though not officially supported, that involve using third-party apps to bypass the usual means. Here's a step-by-step guide using a workaround:

Download the Textnow app from the Play Store and create your account. Take a US number with the country code 206. Create a WhatsApp account of the number you created using Textnow. Choose 'call' instead of 'SMS' for verification. Use the invitation link to join the group. Go to the settings in your WhatsApp account and change your number. Change your WhatsApp account to your original number.

While this method is not officially supported, it can be a viable workaround if you need to rejoin quickly and urgently. However, keep in mind that using fake or anonymized accounts may violate WhatsApp's terms of service.

Conclusion

Facebook Messenger groups are important spaces for communication, and being removed from them can be frustrating. By following the steps above, you can attempt to get back into the group or explore other options.
