Since links are now a "thing"...https://chat.whatsapp.com/84CjoQeK4xVEAs6KGmkvq1
Lol. Instead of posting links to WhatsApp groups on DDF, why not just keep the conversation on DDF?
 
WhatsApp groups were traditionally utilized for conversations best kept off the public internet. Having public links to open groups sort of defeats the purpose.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

the link can be revoked when it's deemed necessary. Anything posted on whatsapp is not Google searchable

It's also active on whatsapp web.
Should be activated in Android beta soon. The functionality is there but hidden.
I think if rooted you could activate it on Android .

Nope. It will request verification when activating on a new phone.
