GroupLock
LEAVE A GROUP

You can change your mind.
Your boundaries still matter.

Already in a chat before you found GroupLock? Start here. Get help leaving an old or new conversation, or leave your own GroupLock circles directly.

Help with another app My GroupLock circles

Two different kinds of help. GroupLock can revoke membership in its own circles. In another app, you complete the exit there. This page cannot discover all your chats, force a platform to offer a Leave button, or verify an outside exit.

01 · CHATS IN OTHER APPS

Where is the conversation?

These steps also apply to groups joined before installing GroupLock.

Guidance only

Another app or chat type

General navigation · controls may vary
  1. 1

    Open the original app where the conversation exists; no GroupLock account connection is required.

  2. 2

    Open the conversation or community information menu. Look for Leave, Exit, or an equivalent membership action.

  3. 3

    If there is no leave action, use available mute, block, or report options and consult that app's support. Do not share your password with GroupLock or a group administrator.

GroupLock cannot discover all your old chats, force an exit, or change another service's controls. You can stop replying and ask a trusted person for help without submitting chat content here.

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

Silence is not the same as leaving.

Leave
Ends membership where the original platform supports it.
Mute
Reduces notifications; you may still be a member.
Block
Limits contact according to that app's rules; may not exit a shared group.
Delete
May only remove your local history. It does not guarantee an exit or erase other people's copies.
SET A BOUNDARY · OPTIONAL

You do not owe anyone a reply.

Only send a message if it feels safe. You can leave without explaining or confronting someone.

I am leaving this group. Please do not add me again without asking for my permission. Thank you for respecting my decision.
This button copies text only. It never sends a message for you.

Need to leave because something feels unsafe?

You can stop replying and talk to a trusted person now. Do not keep engaging to collect evidence. Never forward sexual images of a minor into GroupLock. For immediate danger, use your local emergency number; this page is not an emergency service.

Read the safety steps

Outside apps may notify other participants when you leave. GroupLock cannot promise a secret exit, stop every future invitation, or erase copies already downloaded. Use the original app's invitation and privacy controls to reduce unwanted re-adds.
