        "content": "Here\u2019s how you can set up a WhatsApp group and use VoiceOver on an iPhone to do it. I've included gestures and steps that should work with the latest versions of iOS and WhatsApp (October 2026). If your version looks different, let me know and I\u2019ll adjust the instructions.\n\n---\n\n## What is VoiceOver?\n\nVoiceOver is Apple\u2019s built-in screen reader. When it\u2019s on, you navigate by having items \u201cselected\u201d and then \u201cactivating\u201d them. Common gestures include:\n\n- Swipe right / left with one finger \u2192 move to next / previous item ([support.apple.com](https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/use-voiceover-gestures-iph3e2e2281/27/ios/27?utm_source=openai))  \n- Double-tap \u2192 activate the selected item ([support.apple.com](https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/use-voiceover-gestures-iph3e2e2281/27/ios/27?utm_source=openai))  \n- Three-finger swipe up/down \u2192 scroll through pages ([support.apple.com](https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/use-voiceover-gestures-iph3e2e2281/27/ios/27?utm_source=openai))  \n\nMake sure VoiceOver is turned on in **Settings > Accessibility > VoiceOver**.  \n\n---\n\n## Creating a WhatsApp Group Using VoiceOver\n\nHere are the steps to create a new WhatsApp group:\n\n1. Open WhatsApp.  \n2. In the bottom tab bar, find and select **Chats**. VoiceOver will announce it (\"Chats, selected\") as you swipe right or explore the bottom bar.\n3. Locate and activate the **New Chat** or **Compose** icon. (Typically a speech bubble with a pencil) \u2014 double-tap when it\u2019s selected.  \n4. In the \u201cNew Chat\u201d menu, find the **New Group** item \u2014 swipe right until VoiceOver says \u201cNew Group,\u201d then double-tap it.  \n5. A list of your contacts will appear. Navigate through them and select contacts by swiping through and double-tapping each you want in the group. VoiceOver should announce \u201cselected\u201d for each.  \n6. Once names are selected, activate **Next** (often at the top right) with double-tap.  \n7. Enter a **Group Name** (subject). VoiceOver will read the field as \u201cGroup subject\u201d or \u201cEnter group name.\u201d Type using the keyboard.  \n8. Optionally, add a group photo by navigating to the group icon/avatar area and choosing \u201cAdd Photo\u201d\u2014double-tap when selected.  \n9. Finally, activate **Create** (usually at top right) with double-tap.  \n\nNow your group exists. You can open it immediately and start chatting.\n\n---\n\n## Using VoiceOver with Gestures While Creating\n\n- To scroll through long contact lists: use **three-finger swipe up** or down. ([support.apple.com](https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/use-voiceover-gestures-iph3e2e2281/27/ios/27?utm_source=openai))  \n- To explore screen items: drag one finger around to hear what\u2019s on the screen. Then double-tap to select.  \n- To go back: usually there is a **Back** button in the top left\u2014swipe to it and double-tap.\n\n---\n\n## Starting a Group Voice Chat\n\nIf by \u201cgroupd\u201d you meant *voice chat* (an audio hangout inside a group):\n\n1. Open the **group chat**.\n2. If your group has between **3-32 members**, swipe up from the bottom of the chat (and hold until you hear something like \u201cConnect\u201d) then release\u2014this starts a voice chat. ([faq.whatsapp.com](https://faq.whatsapp.com/3966323053691518/?cms_platform=android&utm_source=openai))  \n3. If the group is larger (33+ members), there\u2019ll be a **Voice Chat** button or waveform icon\u2014select and double-tap that. Then choose **Start Voice Chat**. ([faq.whatsapp.com](https://faq.whatsapp.com/3966323053691518/?cms_platform=android&utm_source=openai))  \n4. To notify people in the group about the voice chat, look for and double-tap a **wave** or **hand-waving** icon. Else, people can join silently when ready. ([blog.whatsapp.com](https://blog.whatsapp.com/voice-chat-on-whatsapp-audio-hangouts-for-groups-of-all-sizes?lang=kk&utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me whether you\u2019re using an **iPhone model** + **iOS version**, I can give you even more precise gestures if needed. Would you prefer that?"
