WhatsApp is essential for communicating with your cell phone in your daily life (especially if, like me, you hate calls), but it has some pretty overwhelming side effects. I'm talking about those eternal audios in the middle of an agile conversation which force you to leave everything to listen or stay halfway (thank God the transcription already exists) or these groups in which they put you and you stay there by commitment.
Go ahead and say that if I have to be in the group because every now and then important information comes up or I need to communicate, I correct it by shushing it, filing it away and see you later. However, if you are not interested in the group at all and would like to leave but are in a hurry, then while there are tips for doing so, WhatsApp has a ninja mode for leaving groups.
Here's how to quietly leave WhatsApp groups
A classic, someone gets angry in a WhatsApp group chat, leaves it and messages 'so and so left the group“What a digital door slam. At that time, to leave an unwanted group in the most discreet way possible, one had to resort to abandoning it when another person left, fleeing en masse, or taking advantage of chatter so that the notification would not be noticed among 200 posts.
There are those who even resort to the old but useful trick of saying that they have no space on their mobile, but today there is no need to devise an escape strategy like Prison Break thanks to a relatively new update that took a while and few people know about leave a group in complete privacy and without awkward questions. Here's how it works:
- Enter the chat of the group you want to leave and tap its name, which will allow you to see the group's information.
- Scroll down, where you will see the “Leave Group” option. Tap on it and repeat to confirm the process.
- You left the group but no participant noticed… except the one who has administrative permissions. Others will only find out when they see that there are fewer participants on the group information screen.
On the other hand, and to prevent anyone from adding you to other WhatsApp groups that you do not want to belong to, it is worth remembering that there is a privacy setting to limit who can add you to groups.
