How to Delete WhatsApp Group Member Without Notification?

The most commonly asked question is, How to remove someone from WhatsApp without Notifying them? There is no way to remove someone from WhatsApp without notifying them. Since the group chat history is available in their chat list anytime, the information will be available in the chat window when they are removed from the group and will be notified to every other member.

No special push notification message or alert will be sent to that person or other group members. Still, there will be a message in the chat window saying that the particular users were removed.

How to Remove Someone from Group Chat?

Once a member is removed, it will not delete the group chat list from WhatsApp. The chat list will contain all the previous messages, but the person can’t type and send any message to the group. Also, they can’t see any new messages. The chat will also show a small note saying, ‘You are removed by (member name, who removed you).’

But of course, if you remove someone from an inactive group, that person and any member in the group will know about the removal until they check the group chat. Once they open the conversation, they can see a small notification. But one thing, if the group is flooded with so many messages after the removal, then it is challenging to find that notification. However, the removed person can still access the chat history on their phone.

So whenever they open the chat, they can see that notification saying ‘ removed you’ ( – it is the name of the admin). Since they are not a part of that group now, new messages won’t be available on their phone, and the message typing window will also not be open. So the only option is to read the old chat or delete the entire conversation.

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.

  5. 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.

  10. 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.
