You will soon be able to silently ‘exit’ a WhatsApp group, new feature spotted

WhatsApp is testing a new feature for its users, in which users can silently leave a group. Currently, if a user exits the group, other members of the group get to know about it. This will not happen after the introduction of the new feature. The new move by the instant messaging app will provide an opportunity for people to leave groups without any hesitation. This can definitely prove to be a useful feature for many people.

A video shared by WhatsApp beta tracker WABetaInfo screenshot According to , the instant messaging app will notify users who exits a group that only he and the group’s admin will be informed about his exit. This means that other group members will not be able to see that one of them has left the group.

As we mentioned, currently, when a user leaves a group, WhatsApp shows an auto-generated notification. This information is visible to all the members of that group as well as the administrator.

WhatsApp had announced the ability to silently leave a group a few days ago while giving information about its Community feature. However, exact details of when it will actually be available to users are yet to be revealed.

WABetaInfo reports that the screenshot he shared was taken from the recent WhatsApp Desktop beta. However, this change is likely to be available for Android and iOS versions as well.
