Can I change the admin in a WhatsApp group - in detail?
Yes, you can change the admin in a WhatsApp group, but there are some nuances to consider. WhatsApp allows group administrators to add or remove participants and also assign new admins. Here's how you can change the admin:
- Open WhatsApp and go to the group where you want to make changes.
- Tap on the group name at the top of the chat screen. This will take you to the group info page.
- Scroll down to the participants list. You'll see a list of all the group members, with the current admins highlighted.
- Tap on the admin you want to change. This will open their profile within the group.
- Look for the 'Remove Admin' option (the icon looks like a person with a minus sign). Tap on it.
- Confirm your decision. You may be prompted to confirm that you want to remove this person as an admin. Tap 'OK' or 'Remove'.
- To add a new admin, tap the 'Add Participant' icon (a person with a plus sign) at the bottom of the participants list.
- Select the participant you want to make an admin. You can choose from the existing group members.
- Tap on 'Make Admin'. The selected participant will now be an admin of the group.
It's important to note that:
- Only admins can add new participants or promote others to admin status.
- If you're the only admin in a group and you leave, WhatsApp will automatically make another member an admin. This is to ensure that every group has at least one admin.
- If you're not sure who the current admins are, they have a distinct icon next to their name in the participants list.
By following these steps, you can easily change or add new admins in your WhatsApp group, ensuring that the group is managed effectively and efficiently.
