Group chats on WhatsApp can also be annoying. With these tricks, users can “secretly” withdraw from the groups.
the essentials in brief
- Unfortunately, there is no function that hides leaving a WhatsApp group.
- However, there are various tricks that can be cleverly handled by the group.
“Ding”, “Ding”, “Ding”, messages are constantly coming in from a WhatsApp group. The topics that are being chatted about don’t interest you at all, you’re just annoyed about the group chat. That shouldn’t be a problem in the future. With a trick you can sneak out of the chat unnoticed.
It also happens that you are unintentionally added to a group. But then you don’t want everyone to notice when you leave them again. The popular messenger basically provides that the members of a group are informed about their own activities.
If a group becomes smaller, the participants will be informed who has left. However, there is a trick to bypass this function, as reported by “Netzwelt”.
WhatsApp officially does not offer the option of leaving group chats «secretly». With a simple trick, however, users can bypass the basic settings by simply muting the group. If the notifications for this WhatsApp group are muted, you will no longer hear anything. Thanks to the mute function, the smartphone does not ring or vibrate and the messages are no longer displayed on the screen.
This is how it works
If you tap on the group name at the top of the screen in the chat, you can easily deactivate the group’s notification. Android users can select the option “always” under “Mute notifications”.
Apple users select the option “always” under the item “mute”. From now on, you can only see how many messages have been missed when you open WhatsApp. If that’s still too much for you, try the next trick.
Out of sight, out of mind
If the WhatsApp group should no longer be displayed in the chat list, simply move it to the archive. To do this, tap the group in the chat list for a long time with your finger. On Android, a green tick appears next to the group picture. Apple users will see a list of different options.
Then the “Archive” symbol (Android) or “Archive” is tapped in the list (Apple). It’s in the top right corner. The chat is simply moved to the archive. Users cannot leave WhatsApp groups, but they disappear into the archive and thus become invisible.
Just recently, WhatsApp introduced another useful feature. After a certain period of time, chat messages delete themselves. This is how you get rid of annoying messages.
