How to remove a participant from a WhatsApp group if you are not the admin of that group - briefly?
If you're not the admin of a WhatsApp group and want to remove a participant, you can't do it directly as this feature is only available to admins. However, you can report the participant's behavior to the admin for further action.
How to remove a participant from a WhatsApp group if you are not the admin of that group - in detail?
To remove a participant from a WhatsApp group when you are not the admin, follow these detailed steps:
- Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your device.
- Select the Group: Locate and tap on the group from which you want to remove the participant.
- Group Information: Within the group chat, tap on the group name at the top of the screen to access the "Group Info" page.
- Participants List: Scroll down to find the list of participants in the group. Locate the participant you wish to remove.
- Remove Participant: Tap and hold the name of the participant you want to remove until a menu appears at the top of the screen. This menu typically includes options such as "Media," "Calls," and "Info."
- More Options: Look for an option labeled "More" or with three vertical dots (⋮). Tap on this option to reveal additional choices related to that participant.
- Remove from Group: In the menu that appears, select the "Remove [Participant's Name] from Group" option. Confirm your action if prompted.
- Confirmation: After confirming, the participant will be removed from the group. You can verify this by checking the participants list again to ensure they are no longer included.
It is important to note that while these steps allow you to remove a participant from a WhatsApp group, they only work if the admin has granted such permissions. If the admin has restricted removal privileges to only themselves, you will not be able to proceed with the removal.
Additionally, removing a participant from a group does not delete their messages or media from the chat history. The messages and media shared by the removed participant will remain visible in the group chat for all other participants.
