Requesting Admin Removal from Group Members
If you are not comfortable asking the page owner to remove you as an admin directly, you can request other group members to do it for you. This method is most effective if you have a good rapport with the group members and they trust you. Here’s how you can do it:
- Reach out to a trusted group member and explain your situation. Let them know that you wish to be removed as an admin and request their assistance.
- If they agree to help, they will need to contact the page owner and request your removal as an admin. They can do this by sending a message to the page or by commenting on a post.
- Once the page owner receives the request, they will review it and decide whether to remove you as an admin. If they decide to remove you, they will do so immediately. You will receive a notification informing you that you have been removed as an admin.
