To delete a group in WhatsApp that you didn't create, you must first be promoted to an admin by the group creator or another admin. Once you have admin privileges, you can delete the group by tapping on the group name at the top of the chat, selecting 'Group Info,' and then choosing 'Delete Group.'
How to delete a group in WhatsApp that you didn't create - in detail?
To delete a WhatsApp group that you did not create, follow these steps:
- Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your device. If you are using an iPhone, press the home button twice and select the WhatsApp app from the list of recently used apps. On Android devices, press the multitasking button (usually a square icon) and tap on the WhatsApp icon to open it.
- Navigate to the Group: Once you are in the WhatsApp interface, find the group chat that you want to delete. You can do this by scrolling through your list of chats or using the search function at the top of the screen.
- Enter the Group Chat: Tap on the group chat to open it. This will display all the messages and media shared within the group.
- Access Group Info: At the top of the group chat interface, you will see the group name and the icons of the participants. Tap on this area to access the 'Group info' screen. Alternatively, you can tap on the three vertical dots (⋮) in the top-right corner of the screen and select 'Group info' from the dropdown menu.
- Scroll Down to Find 'Exit Group': On the 'Group info' screen, scroll down until you find the option labeled 'Exit group'. This option may be located near the bottom of the screen, depending on your device and WhatsApp version.
- Confirm Exiting the Group: Tap on 'Exit group' to confirm that you want to leave the group. A pop-up message will appear, asking if you are sure you want to exit the group. Tap on 'EXIT' to confirm your decision. Note that exiting a group will remove you from the chat, but it will not delete the group itself.
- Delete for Everyone: To completely delete the group, you need to be an administrator of the group or have the necessary permissions. Since you did not create the group, you may not have these permissions. If you are an admin, you can tap on the three vertical dots (⋮) in the top-right corner of the 'Group info' screen and select 'Delete group'. This will remove the group for all participants.
- Contact Group Admin: If you are not an administrator and cannot delete the group, your best option is to contact one of the admins directly. Ask them to delete the group or remove you from it if you no longer wish to be a part of the conversation.
