Leaving a WhatsApp group without them noticing
Today when someone leaves a group chat, WhatsApp announces their departure to the entire group. It is not possible to leave a group silent, but it seems that the developers of this messaging app have realized that making the output less visible can be of great value to anyone who does not want to belong to a group.
WhatsApp allows since the last update to create groups of up to 512 people In the case of large groups, constantly warning that someone of members leave the group can distract other members of the chat, so it is also another of the purposes for which the developers are working on the option to leave the group without leaving a trace.
Leaving a WhatsApp group without other users noticing will be possible soon:
A beta feature discovered by WABetainfo allows users to leave a group chat in such a way that only group admins are notified. When a member of the group opts out, a dialog appears saying "Only you and the group admins will be notified that you leave the group", as we see in English in the following image:

In this way, never again will it be announced to the whole world that we are leaving a group. We won't have to do anything as it will be implemented natively.
This is great news for all those people who need this function to avoid revealing that they are leaving a group. A privacy improvement that joins those that were added a long time ago to prevent being added to a WhatsApp group without permission.
And, let's be honest, the issue of WhatsApp groups leads us to more than one head. It is very good to have some of our interest, but today we make a group of everything and it is not a plan to have the app full of these. That's why we applaud the possibility of abandoning them without anyone knowing.
As usual, WhatsApp has not provided any details on when these new features will be released to the public. So we'll be watching when it arrives to let you know.
Greetings.
