5 tricks to escape WhatsApp groups

Mute groups but keep notifications

There are groups from which, by imperative, we cannot escape. Work, family... The best thing for this type of unavoidable groups would be to mute them but keep the notifications on the curtain. In other words, the mobile should not be ringing continuously but that, with a single glance, you can find out if you have new messages. In the event that you want to silence the WhatsApp group but keep the notifications, you must proceed as follows.

• Open the WhatsApp application and go to the group you want to mute and keep notifications.
• Within the group, look at the menu of three points that you have in the upper right part of the application. Press it and drop down the menu.
• Within all the options that appear, press 'Mute'
• In the pop-up window that just appeared, choose for how long you want to be undisturbed. It can be for 8 hours, 1 week or 1 year.
• If you notice, at the bottom is the option 'Show notifications'. Make sure it stays checked, otherwise you won't receive any notifications while the group is muted.

Mute groups and notifications

You're fed up with that alumni group you got into recently. It is full of people who only share supposedly funny memes, photos of people with a, let's say, 'different' anatomy (AKA the black one from WhatsApp) that can put your mobile gallery in doubt. Imagine that you are showing the photos of your last trip. Landscapes, monuments, funny selfies, WHATSAPP BLACK. It is not a tasteful dish to teach that to anyone, especially not your mother, for example.

But of course, you don't want to leave either. There are relatives, friends, the memes that rule, in reality, they make you laugh. And just when you receive them, you delete them. Also, You don't have automatic download enabled What do I do then? I just want to see it whenever I want and without being bothered.

To do this you must follow the same process as in the previous section, but taking into account that the 'Show notifications' box must be conveniently deactivated. Do not check that box: otherwise you will continue to receive notifications although, yes, none of them will sound.

This is the most efficient way to 'disappear' from the group without anyone noticing. They will not be notified that you have disabled and muted notificationsand everything will continue as before. Of course, do not be scared if, when you open the mobile, you have 400 messages in a group. It usually happens when you opt for this configuration.

Send a joke like "X has left the group" and take advantage of the tumult

This option can be a bit crazy but, if you think about it, it is very appropriate especially in large groups where you meet people that you don't know each other at all.The typical group that once made a mutual friend to promote an event. But you don't feel like staying and leaving right away is not among the options. What could be the best option?

Surely you remember that there was a time when it became very fashionable to play the typical prank in WhatsApp groups in which someone left the group. Someone... or something. Do you remember last summer, that already classic 'The air conditioning has left the group? Or the most recent 'The United Kingdom has left the group'... Guaranteed laughs! Surely a stir will be formed: there will be more comments, more laughter, users of the group who will take advantage of the situation of the moment to send another similar joke…

At this moment, you take a career and leave the group Just like that. »Fulanito Pérez has left the group».Everyone, of course, will believe that it is another joke. As if it resulted from a smoke bomb, your message of abandonment will be received with clamors, all oblivious to the reality of the matter: that you really left, that you didn't care about the group and that, from now on, you are going to live. much calmer. Better.

Be a champion and get away with all the consequences

Yes, we know that leaving a WhatsApp group is not easy. We have already commented before that it can be a difficult process since issues such as commitment come into play. Family, work… There are times when there is only one reason to be inside and a hundred to go outside. But there we continue. What we propose is that you change your attitude. If you don't feel like being in a group, tell the person who created it personally. Don't feel obligated to 'be' when what you really want is to 'go out'.

In the event that you want to leave a group like this, in raw, you must press and hold the group icon on the chat screen. Next, mark the three-point menu that you can locate in the upper right. You will see a number of options. You must press 'Leave the group'. Until WhatsApp activates the ability to leave groups without being notified, it is the only way to do it. There is no other.
