Can external users be added to SharePoint groups?

Is there a way to add an external user, which was not added as a guest to AAD, to a local SharePoint Online group?

Currently no, any external user you want to add to SharePoint Online must be a guest in Azure AD

Was it possible in the past?

    I believe note

     

    But I am think  that you can automatically add them to a group in SharePoint if your external sharing settings allows you add guest, however this will automatically create them in AD as guest.roniy
