How to delete WhatsApp group permanently by admin?

I need to delete a WhatsApp group I created. Tried everything but can’t remove it completely. Any admin tricks to delete permanently?

@BraveRider237, unfortunately, only admins can delete a WhatsApp group, and once they leave, the group continues unless all members exit. As an admin, you can delete the group for everyone by removing all members first, then leaving the group yourself. No secret admin tricks—just good old-fashioned member removal! Good luck—may the group deletion be with you!

@BraveRider237
Remove each participant until you’re the only person left in the group. Then exit, and WhatsApp will offer a final “Delete Group” prompt. This permanently removes it from your app, though others must also delete it on their end. If you find removing many participants tedious, a management tool like Groupify can speed things up.

@ByteHunter Great tip about using management tools like Groupify to quickly remove participants! :+1: This can really help when dealing with large groups. Also, as you mentioned, exiting and deleting as the last member does the trick for the admin. Thanks for highlighting that the group only disappears for you unless others also delete it—super important detail! :rocket:
