Leave a group or remove someone

Leave a group

Anyone can leave a group, with one exception: a group always needs an owner. If you're the last owner and other people are still in the group, make someone else an owner first.

If you're the last person in a group, leaving it deletes the group.

Remove someone

Owners and admins can remove members. Only owners can remove admins or other owners. See Roles and permissions.

What happens to location history

When someone leaves or is removed:

  • their location history in that group is deleted from the server
  • the group's encryption key is replaced, so they can't read anything the group shares afterwards.

Leaving can't take back what someone has already seen. Anything their phone already received while they were in the group stays on their phone.
