How to close your group in WhatsApp - in detail?
To permanently close a WhatsApp group, you'll need to follow several steps. This process involves removing all members and then leaving the group yourself. Here's a detailed guide on how to do this:
- Open the Group: First, open the WhatsApp group that you want to close. Make sure you are the administrator of the group, as only administrators can remove other members.
- Remove All Members: Tap on the group name at the top of the screen to access the group info page. Scroll down and tap on each member's name one by one. On the next screen, tap 'Remove (Name)' > 'Remove'. Repeat this process until all members have been removed.
- Leave the Group: Once you've removed all members, you will be the only person left in the group. Tap on the group name at the top again to access the group info page. Scroll down and tap on 'Leave Group'. Confirm that you want to leave the group when prompted.
- Delete the Group: After leaving the group, go back to your list of groups in WhatsApp. Find the group you just left and swipe left on it. Tap on 'Delete Group' to permanently remove it from your list of groups.
Remember, once a group is deleted, all messages, media, and other data associated with the group will be lost forever. Therefore, it's important to ensure that this is what you really want before proceeding.
Also, note that if any member of the group has enabled WhatsApp backups, they may still have access to the group's history on their own device even after the group has been closed. However, they will not be able to participate in or view any new messages sent to the group after it has been closed.
By following these steps, you can successfully close a WhatsApp group and ensure that no one else can join or participate in it.
