How to remove yourself from the admins of a WhatsApp group - in detail?
Removing yourself from the admin list of a WhatsApp group can be necessary for various reasons, such as reducing notifications or freeing up administrative responsibilities. Here’s a detailed guide on how to do this:
- Open WhatsApp: First, launch the WhatsApp application on your smartphone.
- Select the Group: Navigate to the group from which you want to remove yourself as an admin. You can find it by going to the 'Chats' tab and locating the group in the list.
- Access Group Info: Once inside the group chat, tap on the group name at the top of the screen. This will open the 'Group Info' page.
- View Participants: In the 'Group Info' page, look for the 'Participants' section and tap on it. This will show you a list of all members in the group, including yourself.
- Remove Admin Status: Locate your name in the participant list. Next to your name, you should see an icon or a label indicating that you are an admin (this could be a crown symbol or the word 'Admin'). Tap on this icon or label.
- Confirm Removal: A pop-up menu will appear with options related to your role as an admin. Select 'Dismiss as Admin' from this menu. You may be prompted to confirm this action; if so, tap 'OK' or 'Confirm'.
- Exit Group (Optional): If you wish to leave the group entirely, you can do so by tapping on the three dots in the top-right corner of the screen within the group chat. Select 'Exit Group' and confirm your decision when prompted. This step is optional and depends on whether you want to remain a member of the group without admin privileges.
By following these steps, you will successfully remove yourself from the list of admins in the WhatsApp group. This action ensures that you are no longer responsible for managing the group settings or adding/removing members, while still allowing you to participate in the group conversations if you choose to remain a member.
