According to a leak, WhatsApp would be testing a new function that would allow groups to be left silently. We tell you all the details here!
Many times it happens that we are added to groups of WhatsApp where we don’t want to be or that our cell phone is filled with notifications and the only thing we want to do is leave the group. But one of the main notifications of WhatsApp that many times prevents us from leaving a group is that of “…has left the group”.
It’s kind of awkward to know that everyone in the group knows you’re gone and will probably ask us about it. private chat why?. But WhatsApp seems to be working on a new feature that will let us leave groups without all members knowing. depending on the medium WABetaInfothe company is working on a new function that consists of not notifying when someone leaves the group with the typical notification of “…has left the group”. However, it is not that we are going to be able to get away with it and abandon the chat without anyone knowing WhatsApp it will only notify the administrator of the group.
The rumor of this new feature emerged a few months ago when Goal talked about the possibility of treating the whatsapp chat What communities. In the official statement of Goalexplain that these communities are to combine different groups “under the same group with a structure that works for users”. And by treating groups as communities, Meta is looking for ways to avoid awkward moments.
As for the function that was leaked, this week a screenshot Of the version whatsapp-beta for computer where you can see a message when we want to leave the group that says “only you and the group admins will receive a notification that you left the group”. It is expected that when the feature reaches the PC version of WhatsApp It also reaches the mobile version.
And something that is good to remember is that when we leave a group, either with this new function or with the one that currently exists, we can always avoid being added to the group again. If we go to our account settings and select privacy, we can choose who can add us to groups. Available options are everyone, my contacts or my contacts, except…so we can avoid being added back to a group from which we just left.
