Find WhatsApp Groups You are Part Of
Currently, WhatsApp doesn’t have any official way, to do so. But there are three workarounds to find out the total number of groups you are part of and leave the ones you don’t want to be part of anymore.
Open a Self WhatsApp Chat
WhatsApp allows us to see the common groups with whom we are chatting, we can use this trick to find the groups we are part of.
Open the browser of your Phone and type ‘wa.me/(country code)(your number)‘.
Click on the Tap to Share or Continue Chatting button.
This will open a Self Chat with you.
Tap on your user profile, and scroll down to Groups in Common.
Now tap the Exit Group button to leave the groups you don’t want to be part of.
Save Your Own Phone Number
Another way to start a chat with yourself is to save your number, as some iPhone users are not able to start a chat using the above method. You can also read our dedicated guide to messaging Yourself on WhatsApp.

Open the Contacts App, and click on your number.
Click on Send Message Via WhatsApp.
Tap on the user profile, and scroll down to Groups in Common.
