As mentioned in my different post regarding the hidden features of WhatsApp, the company is adding more features all the time since WhatsApp is now the primary messaging application for all mobile phones. Also, this is one of the most requested features, so we may hope that WhatsApp may include these features in their future update.
Last time, we noticed that WhatsApp included features that users constantly request, even after adding the group call feature to their application. Earlier, users complained that calling a specific member from the group chat window was unavailable.
Now, WhatsApp fixed it by adding a call button in the group chat and the feature and started rolling out to the users who make that feature more useful and more effortless. So, in the same way, this feature was also expected to be updated more effectively. So we will update that when it is released.
Since WhatsApp is now part of the Meta, more and more features are added yearly to keep the users active. As we saw in 2022, WhatsApp added more features in each update. In 2023 also, we are expecting multi-device support, which was currently in beta, to be live and the recall the delete message option, and many more.

Hi VIpin,
How do you remove member without notifiying him ?.
Currently, user can see the small message within the chat once removed from the group.
I am one of 3 administrators on a WhatsApp group. One of them deleated me. Is there a way of knowing which one did the delegating?
Thanks lizzy
Hi currently you cannot find it. But if you know someone in the group, them personally ask them who removed you. They will get the notification there.
This is one very bad feature of what’s up , why do I have to inform other members of a group if I delete someone ? Sometimes such groups are used for business in such classes it sends a negative feedback to other members about the group or if someone leaves the same happens ; this should be taken care of
How can I as an admin remove a message that someone has posted on the group that is not appropriate for the group
I have been removed by admin of my society without any reason. That is residents group and I m the flat owner and it is must for me to be in the group so that I can get information related to society. Admin has removed me and now he is not ready to add me. Where should I complaint ?
You cannot compliant anyone. You can either ask him to add you to the group or you can create a new group as per your need.
Just change your profile name, delete your profile picture and exit the group. It will announce that the new name you gave have exited the group. Few will bother about it because they won’t even recall who you are.
Hi Vipin your article is just awesome. I got all the information that I was not knowing about whatsapp group. Thanks for this blog.
I think have been removed from a WhatsApp group. I did not receive a notification but am still listed as a participant. Is it possible?
If you are still listed as a participant, then you are not removed from that group.
It is most unfortunate that any admin can remove a group member with out consent, This is totally illegal. There should be a provision to make it illegal and punishable if any member removes any other member from the group without his/her consent
Now i got to know that its possible, I was in trouble, I have lots of groups and I am the admin of 4 groups but some people are annoying I want to remove than but due to good relationship I couldn’t. But now I will do it thanks for sharing this information.
Since a group member is included with his/her consent it’s grossly illegal to remove him/her without consent. It’s damaging to his/her prestige and reputation and this defect has to be corrected immediately.
how can i remove or block the participants from whatsapp group, if am not group administration
please reply
Thanks
Hi Syed,
You can’t do that. You need to inform your group admin and he only can do that.
Regards.
Hi Vipin, These replies are very helpful. Thanks
Great to hear that, Gladys.
