3Swipe left on a group chat. Scroll down to find the group chat you want to mute in your Chats list, and swipe left on it to see your options.
-
4Tap More. This button looks like three white dots on a gray background. It will bring up a pop-up menu with more options.
-
5Tap Mute. This option will be at the top of the More menu.
- Alternatively, you can tap Group Info and then tap Mute on this page. There is no difference between these two options.
- If you've already opened a group chat, you can just tap the name of the group at the top of your screen to open Group Info. This might be a quicker option to mute a group when you're in the middle of a conversation.
