When you’re part of a Viber group that’s become more of a nuisance than a benefit, it’s natural to want to leave without drawing attention to yourself.
Here are some strategies to help you make a quiet exit:

Method 1: Block the group admins
If you’ve had conflicts with the group admins or simply want to avoid confrontation, blocking them can be an effective solution. When you block an admin, they won’t be notified, and you’ll no longer receive messages from them or the group.
To block an admin:
- Open the Viber app
- Go to Contacts
- Find the admin you want to block
- Tap on their Contact Info
- Click the three-dot icon in the top right corner
- Select “Block”
Method 2: Mute the group notifications
If you don’t want to leave the group entirely but need a break from the constant notifications, you can disable them in your phone’s settings. This way, you can check the group messages on your own terms without being bombarded by alerts. Just remember to check Viber periodically, so you don’t miss any important messages from other contacts or groups.
Method 3: Get a new phone number
When you switch to a new phone number, you have the opportunity to start fresh with your Viber groups. Transfer your essential contacts to the new number, but feel free to leave behind any groups you no longer wish to be a part of. You can continue using your new number without the burden of unwanted group memberships.
Method 4: Delete Viber altogether
If you’ve found a better messaging app and are ready to say goodbye to Viber, deleting the app is a surefire way to leave all your groups at once. Before taking this step, make sure you’ve connected with important contacts on your new platform. If the group is the only reason you’re leaving Viber, consider being honest with the admin about your reasons for departing.
Ultimately, the best approach to leaving a Viber group depends on your individual circumstances and comfort level. By using one of these strategies, you can reclaim your peace of mind and enjoy a more positive messaging experience.
