How many times have you joined WhatsApp groups and perhaps they are commercial, so the amounts of daily messages are very intense, so we need to silence this group, but not leave it, the solution would not be to leave because if you want to be part, but you want to be filled with messages and notifications all the time or you find the sound of a new message constantly annoying. If you still do not have this application downloaded on your mobile, you can get WhatsApp from the Play Store.
The solution is to silence these groups, the way to do it is very simple and anyone can do it by following a few simple steps on their mobile device, some people deactivate WhatsApp without disconnecting from the internet, this also provides a solution, but it is not the most effective solution if you want to continue using WhatsApp in other conversations.
We enter the WhatsApp application and we must analyze which groups we want to silence in order to do so, we enter the chat of the group in question and select the option shown in dots in the lower right corner and pressing it activates the settings menu for this group , in it we select the option “mute notifications”.
A tab with more options will be displayed where it asks us for how long we want to silence this group in question, we can select “8 hours”, “1 week” and even “1 year”, it should be noted that this option is deactivated in case of migrating whatsapp to another mobile device, in this case we must reconfigure on the new device carrying out the same steps mentioned above.
When we choose the amount of time that we will silence our group, we press “accept” and our group will be silenced until the time that we have determined before, we will not receive on-screen or sound notifications to our mobile while the silence is in force or until we have withdrawn perhaps before the time, later I will teach you how to eliminate the silence before the determined time.
What is muting a group on WhatsApp?
Muting it means that we are turning off any notifications in the bottom menu bar, such as a floating notification on our idle screen and the notification sound every time a member of this group sends a message.
It does not mean that we will not be able to see these WhatsApp messages, since if we enter our main chat menu in the application we can see the messages of said group without problems, as well as actively participate in the chat, send messages and content. unrestricted media.
An option that many users are adopting in recent times has been to silence groups and even specific people, for example: I have a contact who sells insurance or beauty items and sends us many daily messages related to his field, but not we want to delete your contact far from it then we can use this method and apply it to WhatsApp contacts as well.
In the same way as with the groups, you will enter the chat of your contact to be silenced and you will open the menu in the lower right corner, in the option “mute notifications” and you will only need to add how long you will silence the notifications of this contact, click Click accept and it will be ready, you will be able to hold conversations normally, except that you will not receive sound notifications or screen notifications from this contact.
In case you really do not want to know anything about the group, the best option for you is to leave the WhatsApp group, and thus you will not fill your message tray with a chat that you will never read.
Can we unmute a group early?
Yes, we can carry out the opposite method, eliminate the silence that we place in a particular group or contact, we must do the same, go to the group or contact settings, press where it says “Deactivate notification silence” and by doing so we eliminate it .
In this way, our WhatsApp contact or group has active notifications again, that is, we receive notifications normally as before, with sound and active screen, this procedure can be carried out whenever and wherever you want without having to wait for the time of silence that we agreed upon is fulfilled.
