This How.com.vn teaches you how to remove yourself from a Facebook group. You can do this in the Facebook mobile app and on the desktop site.
Steps
- Open Facebook. It's a dark-blue app with a white "f" on it. This will open your Facebook News Feed if you're already logged into Facebook on your phone or tablet.
- If you aren't logged into Facebook, enter your email address (or phone number) and password to continue.
- Tap ☰. This icon is in either the bottom-right corner of the screen (iPhone) or the top-right corner of the screen (Android).[1]Advertisement
- Tap Groups. It's in the "EXPLORE" section of options.
- You may first have to scroll down to see this option.
- Select the group you want to leave. Tap a group to open its page.[2]
- Tap Joined. It's below the bottom-left corner of the cover photo at the top of the page.[3]
- Tap Leave Group. This option is at the bottom of the drop-down menu.
- Tap Leave This Group when prompted. Doing so will remove you from the group.[4]
- Go to Facebook's website. Go to https://www.facebook.com in your preferred browser. This will load your News Feed if you're already logged into Facebook.
- If you aren't already logged into Facebook, enter your email address (or phone number) and password before continuing.
- Click the Groups tab. It's to the left of the Discover tab in the top-left corner of the page.
- Open the settings for the group you want to leave. Find the group you want to leave, then click the gear-shaped icon to the right of the group's name. A drop-down menu will appear.
- Click Leave Group. It's an option in the drop-down menu. This prompts a pop-up menu.[5]
- Prevent other group members from re-adding you. If you don't want other people in the group to be able to add you back to the group, check the "Prevent other members from adding you back to this group" box before continuing.
- This step is completely optional.
- Click Leave Group. It's the blue button on the right side of the pop-up window. This will confirm your decision and remove you from the group.
Community Q&A
- QuestionHow can I delete a group that I created?Community AnswerGo onto the group's page and find the Settings option. You should be able to delete the page from there.
- QuestionWhat do I do if I don't want to leave a group, but don't want to be notified of every post that is entered?Community AnswerThere should be a setting at the top of the group which says Turn off post notifications. Turn post notifications off, and then swipe the app out/close the app, then reopen. You should be good to go then.
- QuestionDo photos I posted to a Facebook group stay in the group even after I leave the group?Community AnswerYes, but you could remove them before leaving if it's really important for you.
