New tool: leave the group without being noticed

Another tool that WhatsApp is bringing is the possibility of leaving a group without anyone knowing, only those responsible for the group will be notified.

This feature is available on beta version of the application, which is a trial version.

When a person leaves a group, the following message will appear on their screen: “Only you and the group administrators will be notified that you have left the group”.
