Whatsapp is used by crores of people in India. It is so popular that it has now become a verb and we often hear people saying 'I will WhatsApp you', where they mean they will send a message on the app. However, a lot of times, people add us to group chats on their own, generally filling up the notifications. To avoid this, there is only one option left and that is to leave the group.
However, when you leave a group, all the participants of the group see it, something that is not liked by many. Today, we will tell you a trick that you can use to stop people from adding you to groups.
It is important to note that you need to have the latest version of the app for this trick to work. If it is not, head over to the Google Play Store or Apple App Store and update your WhatsApp.
