How to permanently close a group in WhatsApp - in detail?
To permanently close a group in WhatsApp, you need to follow a series of steps that ensure all members are removed and the group is dissolved. This process involves leaving the group yourself and then removing every other member. Here’s how to do it:
- Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your device.
- Select the Group: Navigate to the group you want to close. You can find it in your list of chats or by searching for it.
- Exit the Group: Tap on the group name at the top of the chat screen to open the group info page. Scroll down and tap on "Exit Group." Confirm this action when prompted.

Remove Other Members: Since you are no longer a member of the group, you will need to ask an admin or someone with admin privileges to remove all other members. Here’s how they can do it:
- Open WhatsApp and go to the group.
- Tap on the group name at the top to open the group info page.
- Scroll down to see the list of participants.
- Tap on each participant's name and select "Remove [Name] from Group."
- Confirm the action when prompted.
- Delete the Group: Once all members, including yourself, have been removed from the group, it will automatically be deleted. WhatsApp does not allow groups to exist without any members.
- Confirm Deletion: To ensure the group has been permanently closed, you can ask someone else in your contacts list to search for the group. If they cannot find it, the group has been successfully deleted.
By following these steps, you can permanently close a WhatsApp group, ensuring that all members are removed and the group is dissolved completely.
