How to Leave A Facebook Group on Mobile or Desktop
It’s very easy to learn how to leave a Facebook group, and I understand why you may need to leave a Facebook group.
When Facebook group was introduced by Facebook, it was done with a good intention; to help us connect with people who share similar interests or passion with us.
As humans, our interest or passion keeps changing, so there’s a chance that you’d want to leave a Facebook group you joined some time ago because you no longer have an interest in what the group is all about.
You might also want to know how to leave a Facebook group because the group is no longer active, or you’ve got blocked Facebook friends active on that Facebook group. If you leave a Facebook group, you’ll no longer get notifications from the group.
In this article, I’ll show you how to leave a Facebook group on using the Facebook mobile app for iPhone, iPad, and Android devices, and also the desktop version of Facebook.
