To not want to be in a work WhatsApp group?

I got added to a work WhatsApp group when it was originally created sometime last year and it really annoys me. They don't really use it during work hours, but every evening and even on most weekends it's pinging constantly talking about work.

I'm a part time employee with young kids and a life. When I leave work I don't think about work until I am next in work. I don't want to spend my evenings chatting about it with my colleagues. I muted it straight away but sometimes don't click on it for a while and it will have 100s of messages and it shows everyone I haven't opened it and then I get comments made to me about it.

AIBU to just leave and tell them the frequency of messaging is too much in my spare time and I would rather not be in the group at all then be dug our for not opening and replying to the messages in it?

Leave it! Honestly, life is too short. It doesn’t mean you’re not a team player, or not good at your job, you are allowed a life outside work.

I do not have WhatsApp and if I were moved to the team that does, I wouldn't be getting it unless my contact required it. Ditto adding anyone on Facebook.
