A newreportbyWABetaInforeveals that the Meta-owned messaging app is working onbringing the ability to leave a WhatsApp group without notifying others. It is said that with a future update, whenever you plan to exit a group on the platform, only the group admins will know of the move.

A screenshot shows that if you opt to leave a group, a pop-up will appear to notify you that only you and the group admin will know of the decision. Here’s a look.
