good and bad news for those who want it leaving a group without causing much fuss. The app has been testing some changes on the subject for a while now, and according to WaBetaInfo they can now be seen in the beta version of WhatsApp for iOS.

First, the good news: no longer shown in chat itself when someone leaves, excluding group administrators. The bad news is that you can look at the list of past participants where you can see who left the group.

For better or worse depending on who you ask

Until now, when someone leaves the group, the text “Pepe left the group” was displayed in the chat itself, detracting from the topic. Therefore, there are those who prefer to stay in the group and silence him forever, or file and forget. This is already changing for some users with version 22.16.0.75 of WhatsApp for iOS and hopefully it will change for everyone in the future.

The good news is that with change no longer show in chat when someone leaves the group, excluding the group’s own administrators. For this part, we will be able to make a quieter tactical exit by avoiding private messages from our groupmates asking why we broke up or various reprimands.

The bad news is that a new menu has been added to the group settings. See previous attendeesdisplays a list of everyone who was in the group before and when they left. The list shows all attendees who left or were kicked out in the last 60 days.

Well, 60 days must pass to complete the perfect crime leaving the chat without proof of leaving, although admins will be able to see that you left in the chat history. An interesting change that makes group commutes somewhat more subtle and shouldn’t change much otherwise. After all, no matter how much WhatsApp warns you, members of that group can remember that you were in it and that you are no longer.
