• Group Admins: If you want to permanently delete the group for all its members as an administrator, you need to first remove each member from the group independently before following the steps above.
• Backup: Before deleting the group, ensure that you back up all of your important messages or media as this action cannot be undone.
• New Admin: If you only exit the group without deleting it, WhatsApp will automatically replace an admin with one of the remaining members.
