  4. Scroll Down to 'Participants': Here you’ll find a list of all the members in the group.
  5. Tap on 'Remove' Next to Each Member: You’ll need to remove each member one by one. This will effectively split the chat, as each removed member will be taken out of the conversation.

Additional Tips

  • Backup Your Chats: Before starting any splits, ensure you have backed up your chats to avoid losing important data.
  • Check Settings for Automatic Backup: WhatsApp often backs up your chats automatically, but it’s always good to verify this in the settings.
  • Understand Archive: Archived chats are not deleted; they are merely moved out of your main chat list. You can access them anytime by searching for the contact or group name.

By following these steps, you can effectively manage and split your WhatsApp chats to better suit your communication needs.
