How to close a group in WhatsApp if you are an admin - in detail?
To effectively close a group on WhatsApp when you are the admin, follow these detailed steps:
- Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your device.
- Access Group Settings: Navigate to the group you wish to close. Tap on the group name at the top of the chat screen to open the group info page.

- Remove All Members: To close the group, you need to remove all participants. Start by tapping on each member’s name and selecting 'Remove [Name] from Group'. Repeat this process for every member until the group is empty. Note that you can only remove members who have not been made admins themselves.
