How to remove someone from a WhatsApp group if they are an admin - briefly?

To remove someone who is an admin from a WhatsApp group, you must first demote them from their admin status. Once their role has been changed to a regular participant, you can then proceed to remove them from the group as usual.

How to remove someone from a WhatsApp group if they are an admin - in detail?

Removing someone who is an admin from a WhatsApp group can be a bit more complex than removing a regular participant, but it is entirely possible with the right steps. Here’s a detailed guide on how to achieve this:

1. Identify the Current Admin:

   First, identify which member currently holds the admin privileges in the group. This person will need to be present and active during the removal process.

2. Promote Another Member to Admin:

   Before removing the current admin from the group, you must promote another trusted member to the role of admin. To do this:

   • Open the WhatsApp group.
   • Tap on the group name at the top of the screen to open the group info page.
   • Scroll down and tap on "Add Participant" to invite a new member if needed.
   • Once you have added the new member, go back to the group info page.
   • Under the list of participants, find the new member you just added and tap on their name.
   • Select "Make Admin" from the options that appear. This will promote them to admin status.

3. Remove the Old Admin:

   Now that another member is an admin, you can proceed to remove the old admin:

   • Go back to the group info page.
   • Find the name of the current admin you want to remove.
   • Tap on their name.
   • Select "Remove [Name] from Group." Confirm your decision when prompted.

4. Verify Removal:

   After completing these steps, verify that the old admin has been successfully removed:

   • Check the group list of participants to ensure the old admin is no longer listed.
   • Go back to the group info page and check the list of admins to confirm that only the newly promoted admin remains in the role.

By following these steps, you can effectively remove an admin from a WhatsApp group while ensuring that another trusted member takes over their administrative responsibilities.
