That might be changing in an upcoming WhatsApp feature. Based on a tip from WaBetaInso, the company is currently working on a new feature that would allow WhatsApp users to leave the group silently. The source has shared a screenshot that shows that when you leave a group, other members will not be informed about your exit. Only you and the group admin will be notified that you have left the group.
You Could Soon Leave WhatsApp Groups Silently
You can check the screenshot below.
At the time of writing, if you leave a WhatsApp group, everyone in the group gets notified, but with the new feature, you might end up making only one person ask you why you have left the group instead of a whole heap of other people you do not want to respond to. The source has claimed that this feature is currently under development and will soon be available on the WhatsApp beta for iOS as well as Android. Do you think this feature is something that you would enjoy or should WhatsApp work on a different feature altogether?
