Cannot add members to a group

[TSAM]

I am not able to add members to a group or channel. I receive an error message: this email address cannot join. These addresses are in my personal contacts.

That's a tricky one! Not being able to add members to a group can be super frustrating. First off, what kind of group is it? Is it a group on your phone, like a contact group, or maybe a group on a social media platform, or even a work or school group? Knowing that helps narrow down the possibilities.

If it's on a platform like Facebook or something similar, there might be admin settings that prevent just anyone from adding members. Maybe only the group creator or certain admins have those permissions. So, you might need to reach out to them.

Sometimes, there are also limits on group size. If the group's already reached its maximum number of members, you won't be able to add anyone else. It's worth checking if there's a member limit.

If it's a group on your phone, like for texting, sometimes there can be glitches. Have you tried restarting your phone? That old trick often works wonders. Or, maybe there's a software update for your phone that needs installing.

Also, double-check that you're entering the new member's information correctly. A simple typo in a phone number or email address can prevent them from being added.

If it's a work or school group, there might be specific rules about who can be added. Maybe you need to be in a certain department or class. Or, there might be an approval process, where someone has to okay the new member before they're added.
