WhatsApp users everywhere have been added to groups without notification. But when they want to leave the group, they feel reluctant because they don't want the other group members to know.
Fortunately there is good news from WhatsApp. WABetaInfo reports WhatsApp is testing a new feature to leave groups unnoticed by other members!
WABetaInfo found a snippet of information about this new feature in the WhatsApp Desktop beta. The feature is currently under development and not yet publicly available for beta testers.
From the screenshot uploaded by WABetaInfo, when a user wants to leave the WhatsApp group, other members will not get a notification in the chat. Only group admins can see members leaving the group.
As is known, usually when a user leaves a WhatsApp group there will be a notification at the bottom of the chat that 'X is out' from the group. Later that information will only be available to group admins.
"Group admins must always be informed about what is happening in their group, so they need to be shown who is leaving the group," WABetaInfo said, as quoted by us, Wednesday (18/5/2022).
Although this screenshot is taken from the WhatsApp Desktop beta, WABetaInfo says this feature will be released for WhatsApp beta Android and iOS in the future.
Not only that, WhatsApp is also testing a feature that allows users to view members who have left the group. This feature is also still in the development stage but has been revealed through the WhatsApp Android beta version 2.22.12.4 update.
Once this feature is launched, users will be able to see who has been a member of a group before leaving. This option can be accessed at the bottom of the list of group members.
Unfortunately, this list will be accessible to all group members, not just group admins as when leaving the group. But since this feature is still under development, it is possible that WhatsApp will change the way it works.
Just like the feature to quietly exit a group, the WhatsApp group participant list feature is still in the development stage and will be available for beta testers in the near future.
