This wikiHow teaches you how to stop receiving notifications from a WhatsApp group chat on your Android.
Steps
-
1Open WhatsApp. It’s a green chat bubble icon with a white phone receiver inside. You’ll find it on your home screen or in the app drawer.
-
2Tap and hold the chat you want to silence. You can lift your finger when you see the mute icon (a speaker with a line through it) appear at the top of the chat list.Advertisement
-
3Tap the mute icon.
-
4Select a duration. You will not receive new notifications from this group chat for the amount of time you select. Your options are 8 Hours, 1 Week, or 1 Year.
-
5Remove the check mark from “Show notifications.” This ensures that you don’t see new on-screen notifications when there’s new chat activity.
- If you still want to see on-screen notifications (but not hear a tone), you can skip this step.
-
6Tap OK. The group chat is now muted. You will not be notified of new activity in this chat until your desired time period ends.Advertisement
