A new feature in the “WhatsApp” application allows you to quietly leave chat groups without alerting everyone, and this means that if you are added to chats that you do not want to be a part of, you can now withdraw and avoid any embarrassing remarks.
The new feature will also prevent embarrassing encounters with more sensitive group members who may react badly to your departure.
With this new feature, only the group admin will be notified of your exit.
Of course, group members will be able to see that you've left if they look at the list of participants on the group details page.
Before introducing the feature, WhatsApp would send a notification to the entire group whenever someone left.
But with the new version, once users enable the feature in their WhatsApp settings, they won't be able to see the message, no matter which group you choose to leave from.
However, one thing to note is that admins - the people who created the group - are not able to use this feature in group chats so they will only be able to sign out in groups for which they are not admin.

How to get out of chats on "iPhone"?
Those who use an iPhone or have WhatsApp installed on their Apple device need to swipe left on the group they wish to leave.
Tap More, then tap Exit.
Users will see a message on the screen that says, "Only group admins will be notified that you have left the group."
Otherwise, if you're worried about the backlash you might get from leaving a group, you can turn off read notifications.
This means that your contacts will not be able to see if you have viewed their message.
However, you should be aware that by turning off read notifications, you also won't be able to see when others have read your messages.
