Deactivate notification tone in WhatsApp for group chat
If you don't want to miss private messages in WhatsApp, but feel disturbed by the constant notification of group chat messages, you can simply set the notification tone for a group silently. Here's how it works:
- In WhatsApp, open the group chat whose notifications you want to mute.
- Tap the overflow menu in the top right corner and select "Silent" from the menu.
- You can then choose the time period for the mute. You can choose between eight hours, one day and one week.
- The notifications can optionally be hidden from the status bar. To do this, remove the checkmark from the checkbox in front of "Show notifications".
- Confirm the settings with "Ok".
