How do I delete a group in WhatsApp as an administrator for everyone - in detail?
To delete a group in WhatsApp as an administrator, follow these detailed steps to ensure the group is permanently removed for all members:
- Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your mobile device.
- Access Group Settings: Navigate to the group you wish to delete. Tap on the group name at the top of the screen to open the group information page.

- Exit Group Admin Privileges: To delete the group, you first need to leave the group as an administrator. Tap on "Exit Group" and confirm your decision by tapping "Exit" again in the pop-up window. This action removes you from the list of administrators but does not delete the group itself.

Tap on each participant's name one by one and select "Remove [Participant Name]" from the menu that appears. Repeat this process until all members except yourself have been removed.

- Confirm Deletion: WhatsApp will ask for confirmation before permanently deleting the group. Tap "Delete" one more time to finalize the process.
By following these steps, you ensure that the group is deleted entirely and no longer accessible to any of its former members.
