Notes

  • You must be a member of the group to get its name.
  • The name is required and cannot be empty.
  • The name has a maximum length of 25 characters as per WhatsApp limitations, but the API itself doesn't enforce this on retrieval.
  • The name is visible to all group members.
  • The name can be changed by group admins using the Set Group Subject endpoint.
