whatsapp group ...what does the message so and so was removed mean? In a whatsapp group, what does the message Username was removed mean? 


Did the admin remove that person ?
Did that person delete the account?
"Username left" is different from "Username was removed", right?
When you see a message &lt;User&gt; was removed then it means two things:


The group admin removed the user from group.
The person deleted/deactivated his account. I can vouch for this one because my friend lost his mobile and on deactivation the message appeared in my group that he was removed without me taking action.


Yes, &lt;User&gt; was removed and &lt;User&gt; has left mean two different things, &lt;User&gt; has left comes up when user voluntarily leaves a group but keeps his WhatsApp active.
