1

Mute a Specific Conversation

Open the conversation, tap the contact or group name at the top, and select "Mute Notifications." Choose a duration: 1 hour, 8 hours, 1 day, 1 week, or until you unmute. Messages still arrive — notifications are silenced.

2

Mute from the Message List

Long-press a conversation in your message list and select "Mute." Quick mute options let you silence noisy conversations without opening them. A mute icon appears next to muted conversations.

3

Configure Notification Sounds

In Settings > Notifications, set different notification sounds for different types: direct messages, group messages, and calls. Custom sounds help you identify important messages by audio tone without checking your phone.

4

Set Priority Contacts

Mark specific contacts as priority in their conversation settings. Priority contacts always trigger notifications even when Do Not Disturb is active. This ensures you never miss messages from your most important contacts.

Now you know how. Take the next step — download WeTalkin free.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do muted conversations still receive messages?

Yes. Muting only silences notifications. Messages are delivered and stored normally. You see new messages when you open the conversation. No messages are lost or delayed from muting.

Can I mute a group without leaving?

Yes. Mute notifications for any group while remaining a member. You continue receiving messages silently. Useful for active groups where you want to catch up on your own schedule.

What are priority contacts?

Priority contacts always notify you, even in Do Not Disturb mode. Use this for family members, key business contacts, and other people whose messages should always reach you immediately.
