In this article, we will discuss the process of removing contacts from a WhatsApp group in a Windows environment. Although WhatsApp is primarily a mobile application, there are ways to manage groups and contacts using your Windows computer. This is especially useful for users who prefer working on a larger screen or need to remove multiple contacts from a group at once. We will explore different methods and tools available in the Windows environment to accomplish this task effectively.

- Once connected, you will see your WhatsApp conversations on the web browser. Locate the group from which you want to remove contacts.
