WhatsApp has rolled out a new update to its beta channel that will allow admins to remove other admins without removing them from the group altogether. Until now, if you had to remove an admin, you would have to remove them from the group and re-add them back. Now, you can just demote them from the admin position. This was a long overdue feature that WhatsApp finally decided to add.

As you can see from the image above, there’s an option to Dismiss an existing admin which will result in the person becoming a member as opposed to being removed from the group completely. The feature is still in testing and will soon roll out to the general users. Meanwhile, you can head to the comments section below and let us know your thoughts on the feature.
