WhatsApp groups can be very boring sometimes. While it’s possible to remove yourself from any forum you add, this selection isn’t always the most relevant. There remains a very practical option: muting notifications and only viewing messages whenever you want. WhatsApp offers to temporarily silence notifications for now : More than 8 hours, a week, even a year at the most.
WhatsApp: mute notifications forever
One year isn’t bad enough, but if you’ve been dreaming of a more radical option, it’s coming soon. Always looking for the newest practical features of WhatsApp, WABetaInfo site discovered a new option in the latest beta version of the app (2.20.197.3). You’ll soon be able to choose to mute notifications ‘forever’. The option will therefore replace a withdrawn one-year option. It would be interesting to have both at the same time but if you had to choose, there really is nothing to hesitate.
If you are unaware of its existence, know that there are two ways to mute notifications on WhatsApp. The easiest way is to long press on a conversation and then press the strikethrough bell icon that appears in the context menu at the top. Second option: open a conversation or group and then tap the three vertical dots in the upper right corner. Select the menu ” Silent notifications » and select the delay you want. For now, it’s still limited to a maximum of one year..
Note that it is possible to tick an option that also hides the most recent messages in the notification bar. Finally, permanent blocking of notifications is under development, as is the very practical feature that allows the same WhatsApp number to be used on several smartphones. At this time, we don’t know when these new features will be rolled out in the consumer version of the app. I hope they’re not too late to arrive.
