A step-by-step guide on how to quietly leave a WhatsApp group

WhatsApp is a popular messaging app that allows users to create groups to communicate with multiple people at once.

While these groups can be helpful for organizing events or sharing information, sometimes you may want to quietly leave a group without causing a stir or alerting other members.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it.

Open WhatsApp & select the group you want to leave

Open the WhatsApp app on your phone and select the group you want to leave. You can find your groups by clicking on the "Chats" tab at the bottom of the screen.

If you want to leave the group without anyone knowing, choose always. This will mute the group notifications for as long as you want.

Turn off message previews

To further ensure that your departure from the group is unnoticed, you can turn off message previews.

This will prevent WhatsApp from displaying a preview of messages on your lock screen or notification center.
