Qatar: Goodbye to embarrassment.. "WhatsApp" Allows a feature to leave groups “silently”.. Here’s how

-Advertisement-

Many users of the WhatsApp application feel embarrassed when they decide to exit a chat group, especially since all participants in the group are alerted to leave the user, but WhatsApp has launched a new feature that helps solve this problem.

According to a newspaper "Daily Mail" The new feature in the application allows you to leave chat groups quietly without alerting everyone, and this means that if you are added to chats that you do not want to be a part of, you can now withdraw and avoid any embarrassing remarks.

The new feature will also prevent embarrassing encounters with more sensitive group members who may react badly to your departure. With this new feature, only the group admin will be notified of your exit.

Of course, group members will be able to see that you’ve left if they look at the list of participants on the group details page.

Before introducing the feature, WhatsApp would send a notification to the entire group whenever someone left, but with the new version, once users enable the feature in their WhatsApp settings, they won’t be able to see the message, regardless of which group you choose to leave.

And the newspaper says, according to Al Jazeera Net, that the administrators – the people who created the group – are unable to use this feature in the chat group, so they will only be able to go out in groups for which they are not responsible.

** How to exit chats on "Android"?

You can simply tap and hold on the group you want to leave from. Next, you should tap on the three-dot icon in the upper right corner of the screen, and select Exit.

You will then see a message on the screen that says, "Only the group admins will be notified that you have left the group".

** How to exit chats on "iPhone"?

Needs those who use "iPhone" Or they have WhatsApp installed on their Apple device, to swipe left on the group they want to leave.

Tap More, then tap "Exit". And you will see a message on the screen that says, "Only group admins will be notified that you have left the group".

On the other hand, the paper says that if you’re worried about the backlash you might get from leaving a group, you can turn off read notifications. This means that your contacts will not be able to see if you have viewed their message.

However, you should be aware that by turning off read notifications, you also won’t be able to see when others have read your messages.
