We’ve all been in a situation where we’ve been added to a WhatsApp group we didn’t want to join. And the worst part? You can’t even leave the group because everyone will be notified via a pop-up that you’ve left the group and things can get awkward. Well, that’s about to change. We will tell you how to leave a WhatsApp group without anyone knowing.
No more spam with ‘good morning’ messages and dad jokes. And no more awkward moments when your uncle asks you why you left the group. It’s a win-win, isn’t it? So without any further hassle, let’s get started.
Why is it important to leave a WhatsApp group silently?
Sometimes, you may be added to WhatsApp groups without your consent. After that, it becomes difficult to exit the group as you may have to answer questions from other team members. “Why did you leave the group? Don’t you like us?”
If you’ve been asked similar questions before, you know how important it is to leave a WhatsApp group without notifying other members. Although there is no official way yet, there is an alternative that you can use to leave WhatsApp group chats silently. Here is how it works.
How to exit WhatsApp group silently
Grab your iPhone or Android device and get started with the steps below. Note that the steps remain the same no matter what platform you use. Currently, this method does not work on WhatsApp web or the web app, so we recommend using the smartphone app itself.
Also, make sure you’re running the latest version of the app before starting.
Step 1: Open WhatsApp on your smartphone. Navigate to the group you want to leave.
Step 2: If you have an iPhone, slide the group chat to the left. You will now see the option Archive chat. choose it.
If you have an Android device, touch and hold the group chat. Then, select the Archive button in the top right corner.
Group chats will now be archived. If you don’t want to receive group notifications but still want to be part of a group, you can stop at this step. However, if you want to get rid of the group altogether, continue with the following steps.
Step 3: Scroll to the top of your WhatsApp chat. You will see the Archives section there. Touch it.
Step 4: Open the group you want to leave by tapping it.
Step 5: Tap the name of the group at the top. This will bring up the group’s settings.
Step 6: Scroll to the bottom and select Exit group.
Step 7: You will now see a prompt asking if you want to leave the group. Press the Exit group button.
As you can see, the text says that only group admins will be notified when you leave the group. Other members will not be notified.
Congratulations! You have successfully left the WhatsApp group without anyone knowing. Of course, administrators will know what is the downside of this solution. However, it is still better to inform everyone in the group.
Tip: With a recent update, you can now also make voice or video calls using the WhatsApp desktop app.
