Just a week ago, we learned an interesting news: WhatsApp plans to let you leave a group without warning with a message in the middle of the chat. Now we know exactly how the process will be if we do it from the WhatsApp mobile app.

Until now, when you leave a WhatsApp group, the text “pepito left the group” is added to the chat, which can lead to insights from the remaining users of that group. To avoid this, WhatsApp will no longer show this warning, but will continue to advise managers and it is possible that they will continue to appear in a section called see previous participants.

A week ago we saw some screenshots of WhatsApp Desktop from the hands of WaBetaInfo, how WhatsApp has prepared the option to leave a group without notifying everyone. Now we have screenshots From the WhatsApp app for Androidand with something new.

First, let’s summarize. When you leave a WhatsApp group, the app will announce that you left that group in the group, but the new thing is that it will stop doing that. Instead, when you use the menu to leave a group, you will be presented with a warning window telling you: Only administrators will be notified. The rest won’t know unless you manually check who’s there and who isn’t.

Specifically, the message says “admins only will be notified that you’ve left the group” and asks if you want to do so. You have three options: leave, cancel or mute the group. Until now, muting the group was the usual option for those who wanted to forget a conversation without leaving.

The functionality is still hidden inside the WhatsApp code – meaning it’s not active – but it’s available on WhatsApp Desktop and at least WhatsApp for Android, it may not take long to arrive. We don’t have an appointment, so be patient.
