Brief Problem Context: Many groups face a common problem we can term it *Group_Administration Problem*.. We observe that when a group is formed around an Idea (purpose) or Identity (parameter) by a person/team first. The way the group builds up follows the Intellectual leadership offered by the admins and the cooperation of the prime members in group.

Answer from Gemini A.I :
*Who should be WhatsApp group admins?*
* Active and reliable members: Choose people who are consistently active in the group and respond promptly to messages and requests.
* Responsible and trustworthy individuals: Select members who understand the group’s purpose and are committed to maintaining a positive and respectful environment.
* Tech-savvy individuals: Choose members who are comfortable using WhatsApp’s features and can easily manage group settings, add or remove members, and resolve technical issues.
* Good communicators: Select members who can clearly and effectively communicate with other group members, address concerns, and enforce group rules.
* Fair and impartial individuals: Choose members who can make decisions objectively and treat all group members equally.
Who shouldn’t be a WhatsApp admin?
* Inactive or unreliable members: Avoid choosing people who are rarely active in the group or who don’t respond to messages and requests in a timely manner.
* Irresponsible or untrustworthy individuals: Avoid selecting members who are likely to misuse their admin powers or who may compromise the group’s integrity.
* Tech-challenged individuals: Avoid choosing members who are unfamiliar with WhatsApp’s features or who may struggle to manage group settings and resolve technical issues.
* Poor communicators: Avoid selecting members who have difficulty communicating clearly or who may struggle to address concerns and enforce group rules.
* Biased or unfair individuals: Avoid choosing members who may favor certain group members or who may make decisions based on personal preferences rather than objectivity.
How to check who is a WhatsApp admin?
* Open the group chat: Tap on the group name at the top of the chat screen.
* Access group info: Tap on the “Group info” option.
* View admin list: The list of admins will be displayed under the group description.
Remember, the ideal number of admins will vary depending on the size and activity level of the group. It’s generally recommended to have at least two admins to ensure that there is always someone available to manage the group.
