How to leave a WhatsApp group
Although leaving a WhatsApp group is a process that does not have any major complications, you must bear in mind that if you want to rejoin you will have to ask the group administrator to add you again.
But if this is the second time you’ve dropped out, you’ll have to wait 24 hours before you can join again. This time increases exponentially for each time you leave the group, with a maximum waiting period of 81 days to rejoin.
So if you are not convinced that it is the option you are looking for, it is probably convenient for you to know how to archive a group chat. However, if you are determined to say goodbye to your WhatsApp group, you must follow these steps.
- Open the WhatsApp group chat you want to leave.
- Tap the group name.
- Scroll to the bottom of the screen.
- Press the button leave the group.
When you have left the group, you can remove it by holding down its name and then ticking the button Remove (represented by a trash can) at the top. In this way, you can also delete the chat media files that are on your phone.
