Error "404. Wrong invite code"

An error occurs when attempting to join a group using an invite code.

{    "error": {
        "code": 404,
        "message": "wrong invite code"
    }
}

Main reasons:

  • The invitation code has been changed.

  • The invitation code is invalid or contains extra characters (a common issue when copying and pasting manually)

  • The group has reached its 1024 member limit

  • Admin approval is required to join the group

  • If you were previously removed from the group, WhatsApp blocks you from rejoining via the invitation link

Recommendation: Check that the code is up to date. Try joining the group via the WhatsApp mobile app or WhatsApp Web—the app usually displays a more specific reason why your request could not be completed.
