Exit groups

If you exit a group, you'll be removed from the group. However, you'll still see the group in your chats list and be able to read the chat history. If you're the only group admin and you exit a group, a participant is chosen at random to become the new admin.

To exit a group:

1. Open the WhatsApp group chat, then press Options > Group info.
   • Alternatively, select the group in your chats list. Then press Options.
2. Press Exit group > EXIT.

Delete groups

After you exit a group, you have the option to delete the group. When you delete the group, you'll no longer see the group in your chats list and the chat history will be erased.

To delete a group after exiting a group:

1. Open the WhatsApp group chat, then press Options > Group info > Delete group.
   • Alternatively, select the group in your Chats list. Then press Options > Delete.
2. Press OK.
