If you want to move your groups from WhatsApp to Signal, you can use the method we put forward here in this article. You should know that there is no automated way to move this information from one platform to another. Therefore, it is necessary to repeat this process with each group you want to migrate.
The first step is to create a new group in Signal. To do this, open the menu from the three vertical points and select New Group.
Create a new group in Signal
Select at least one contact to create the group. Click the bottom right button to continue.
Choose a contact for the new group
Write the name of the group. It is advisable to use the same name so that your contacts can quickly identify it.
Specify the name of the Signal group
It is also important that you use the same image of the original group. Therefore, go to WhatsApp and open the group information. Then tap on its icon.
View the group’s icon in WhatsApp
When you see the image in a larger format, take a screenshot.

To finish, tap on Create.

Now, you have a replica of the WhatsApp group in Signal. The next step is to create an invitation for your contacts to register in the application and access the group. To do this, open the options menu and select Group settings.
