How to remove the administrator privilege in WhatsApp groups
Table of contents:
WhatsApp continues to develop new features to improve the user experience, such as group calls and the ability to listen to voice notes before sending them. Undoubtedly, the most intense test field consists of offering tools that facilitate the tasks of group administration. Now, WhatsApp is working on enabling a feature that allows an administrator to demote other administrators.
Until now, admin rights to a group could only be removed if another admin removed the user in question, then added them back. It is an easy process, although cumbersome. Also, kicking can be annoying, especially for the kicked user. Well, WhatsApp has launched in its Beta program what many of us were waiting for. Within the "Group Information" section, an administrator can make a long press on another, and choose the option "Dismiss as administrator" In this way, you can revoke admin rights without kicking the user out. Do evil, but without making it too noticeable.
The function of removing an administrator is still in testing phase
The Beta 2 version.WhatsApp for Android 18.12 already has this feature by default. Similarly, WhatsApp is testing this tool on iOS, but iPhone users will have to wait a bit to make good on their stripes. In any case, we must remember that it is in the testing phase. This update allows you to kick the creator of a group using the "Remove Participant" function. WhatsApp is developing an implementation that prevents the creator of the group from being demoted or removed.
The new tools for groups are not the only field of work of WhatsApp. There is also a lot of pending work in the security section. They are the small drawbacks of being the most used messaging application. Which does not mean that it is the best, of course.
