Whatsapp in Indonesia is one of the most widely used instant messaging applications. This has even shifted the BBM application which was booming a few years ago. One feature that is widely used on Whatsapp is its Groups.
Whatsapp groups are a facility to be able to interact with many people or groups. But in some circumstances, we can actually delete Whatsapp Groups.
Well, to find out how, please follow the following steps.
Delete Whatsapp Group As Member
Surely we have been invited to join the Whatsapp Group. But on some occasions, we feel like deleting the group. It could be because the group is rarely active or some other reason.
To be able to delete a Whatsapp group as a member, the steps are as follows.
- Enter the Whatsapp group that you want to delete
- Then go to the group description section.
- There you just slide to the bottom until the words “Leave Group” appear.
- Please exit first from the Whatsapp Group.
- After exiting, then you can delete the group. The method is the same, namely you enter the group and swipe down until you find the word “Delete Group”.
- Just click delete group and you are out of Whatsapp Group.
When you leave a group, it will say that you really have left.

Delete Whatsapp Group As Admin
If the previous point was more focused on members, at this point we are more specific for admins. At this point it is much easier than the previous point. Because the role of the administrator is more than the members.
This means that you can delete a group right away without having to leave it first. For your own way, please follow the steps below.
- As with the previous point, enter the Whatsapp Group.
- Then you click on the description of the group.
- Please scroll to the bottom until you find the word “Delete Group”.
- After that you will receive a warning like “Are you sure you delete the group?”
- If you press OK, the group is automatically deleted.
- From the member’s side will receive a message that the group has been deleted
But you need to understand that not all admins can delete groups directly. This is related to the type of Whatsapp used. if you can’t delete the group directly, you can delete it by first leaving the group and then deleting it permanently.

Deleting Groups Without Other Members Knowing
Previously it was mentioned a little that when we leave the Whatsapp group, other members can find out. Of course this can cause a lot of perception from other people.
Therefore, there is another way so that we can leave the Whatsapp Group without being caught. The method itself is as follows.
1. Do Clear Data
The first way is to delete data or the term is Clear Data. This method is fairly easy and there is no need to delete the Whatsapp application. However, this method has a weakness, namely the cellphone number.
When we do Clear Data, we will automatically return to the beginning like registration. If you keep registering using the same number, then you still rejoin the previous group.
Therefore, this method is very useful when you change your cellphone number. Some of the steps you have to go through are as follows.
- Go to settings or smartphone settings.
- After that, look for application manager or apps or also Application Manager. Each smartphone has a different name.
- Next, you just have to look for the Whatsapp application.
- Click on Whatsapp and look for the words “Clear Memory” and “Clear Data”.
- Please click “Clear Memory” and “Clear data”.
- Finished
In this way, your account will be lost on Whatsapp. However, it is actually still active if you change the number to a new one. Of course, all groups in Whatsapp will disappear.

2. Change number temporarily
If you want to keep your old number but also want to leave the group unnoticed, then this method is the best option. Of course, the main requirement for using this method is a new number in its place.
You can see how it works yourself below.
- Enter the Whatsapp application
- After that, go to the Settings->Account->Change Number.
- Please follow the instructions to completion.
- When the number has been successfully changed, automatically all Whatsapp groups that you follow will change numbers. However, it should be noted that you are still not out of the group.
- The next step returns to the Clear Data point. Please delete Memory data and also delete Whatsapp Data.
- The next point is to register for the old number. But you need to wait about 5 to 15 minutes.
- Do the initial registration again using the old number.
- Congratulations, you have left the Whatsapp group without being caught.
Those are some points on how to easily delete whatsapp groups. Hopefully this article can provide benefits.
