- Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your mobile device.
- Locate the Group Chat: Scroll through your list of chats to find the group conversation you wish to remove.
- Access Group Info: Tap and hold on the group chat until a menu appears at the top of the screen. Select the three dots (⋮) or the info icon (i) next to the group name to access the group information page.
