## Leave a group chat

**post** `/v3/chats/{chatId}/leave`

Removes your phone number from a group chat. Once you leave, you will no longer receive messages from the group and all interaction endpoints (send message, typing, mark read, etc.) will return 409.

A `participant.removed` webhook will fire once the leave has been processed.

**Supported**

- iMessage group chats with 4 or more active participants (including yourself)

**Not supported**

- DM (1-on-1) chats — use the chat directly to continue the conversation
