From now on you can permanently mute conversations on WhatsApp

–

WhatsApp now allows users to permanently mute a chat conversation. The subsidiary of Facebook says this in a tweet. The new option has been incorporated in an update. With WhatsApp, it can sometimes take a while before all users have access to an update.<!– –>

Muting a conversation will not send notifications for incoming messages. The option is usually used for busy group conversations where several people are chatting.

Maximum for 1 year

The mute button has been in WhatsApp for some time, but could only be enabled temporarily. As a result, users had to mute conversations at least once a year. When switching on the function, you can now choose to switch off messages permanently. They can be activated manually from the app again.<!– –>

A call can be muted by opening the group information of a call and pressing ‘Mute’. There you can choose to activate the mute button permanently, for eight hours or for a week.
