What happens if a group chat admin leaves the chat?

If all admins of group chat leave the chat, then the person who has been in the chat the longest automatically becomes the new admin.
If you’re in a group chat and the admin has had their Workplace account deactivated, then anyone in the chat can select Make admin next to their own name in the members list. When someone does this, other chat members won’t be able to make themselves an admin.
