How to remove a group call in WhatsApp - in detail?

Removing a group call in WhatsApp can be necessary when you need to end a conversation or resolve technical issues. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do this effectively:

  1. Identify the Group Call: First, ensure that you are on the group call and not a one-on-one call. Group calls typically have multiple participants listed at the top of your screen.
  2. End the Call for Yourself: To remove yourself from the group call, simply tap the red 'End Call' button located at the bottom right corner of your screen. This action will end the call for you but not for other participants. They will remain connected and can continue their conversation without you.
  3. Leave the Group Permanently: If you wish to leave the group permanently, follow these steps:

    • Open WhatsApp and go to the 'Chats' tab.
    • Find the group chat associated with the call and tap on it to open.
    • At the top of the screen, tap on the group name or the three vertical dots (⋮) next to it.
    • Select 'Group Info'.
    • Scroll down and tap on 'Exit Group'. Confirm your decision when prompted.
  4. End the Call for All Participants: If you are the one who initiated the group call or if you have administrative rights, you can end the call for all participants:

    • Tap on the three vertical dots (⋮) at the top right corner of your screen while in the call.
    • Select 'End Call'. This action will disconnect all participants from the group call.
  5. Mute or Turn Off Notifications: If you cannot end the call but want to avoid distractions, consider muting the call or turning off notifications:

    • Tap on the speaker icon at the bottom left corner of your screen to mute the call temporarily.
    • Go to your device settings and turn off notifications for WhatsApp to prevent alerts from disturbing you.

By following these steps, you can effectively remove yourself or end a group call in WhatsApp, depending on your needs and permissions.
