How to Delete a WhatsApp Group

To exit a WhatsApp group, open WhatsApp, tap on the group, go to Group Info, scroll down, and select “Exit Group.” Other members will be notified of your departure, but the chat will remain on your device unless you manually delete it. If you’re an admin, you can remove members before exiting by selecting their names in Group Info and choosing “Remove from group.” To transfer admin rights, open Group Info, press and hold a member’s name, and select “Make Group Admin.” If you prefer keeping the group but taking a break, this allows the new admin to re-add you later. Additionally, WhatsApp offers group chat tricks, such as bold text (bold), italics (italics), and tagging members with @username.

How to Exit from a WhatsApp Group

Open WhatsApp on your mobile device.
Then open the WhatsApp group you wish to delete by tapping on it.
Tap on the group name at the top to see the group info and the settings about it.
Scroll down until you see the “Exit Group” option and hit that.
Then tap on exit.
Congratulations, you successfully left the group.

After these steps, you will no longer be a member of that group. Afterward, the other group members will receive a notification that you have left the group for good. However, the group is not deleted from your device just yet.

If you want to delete the chat completely from your archived stuff, simply swipe the group chat to the left on the main screen and hit the “Delete” button. Then you will delete the group along with the chat history.

How to Kick Someone from a WhatsApp Group

Do you want your group to disappear completely? If you wish so, you can kick everyone before deleting the group and let the chat get lost in WhatsApp’s dusty shelves.

If you are looking for a way to kick everyone out of the group before exiting the group yourself, you must be an admin or have permission to use the admin rights.

In other words, you must have created the group, or an admin must have given you the right to do so. If you are the admin or have the permission, you can easily kick anyone from the group in some simple steps.

Firstly, open WhatsApp and tap on your group chat from the main screen.
After that, tap on the group name at the top of the screen to open the Group information and settings.
Select the members you wish to kick out by tapping on their names individually.
Then select the ‘remove from group’ option.
Tap remove, and the person is removed from the group.
After that, exit the group and delete the group to get rid of the chat for good.

Please note that the group will be deleted permanently. Hence, if you have any messages which may come in handy later, you should archive your chats before deleting them.

How to Give Someone Admin Rights on a WhatsApp Group

If you don’t want your group to go away entirely, you might also be wondering how to assign admin control to someone else. It’s quite normal if you want to take a little break from chitchatting.

Some WhatsApp Tricks for Groups

You can make your messages bold by putting an asterisk (*) before and after the message. For example: *Hey, this is bold.*
You can use italics in your messages. Just put an underscore (_) before and after the message. For example: _Hey, this is in italics._
