Muting WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram notifications is the best solution when we receive too many messages: here’s how to do it
Messaging apps have profoundly changed the way we interact with friends. We are always in touch with the people we love the most, even if they are hundreds of miles away. Apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Instagram, however, also hide pitfalls: anyone can contact us and send us a message. Or we can be added in a group with dozens of people we don’t know.
The worst nightmare is when a person we can’t stand keeps sending us messages. What to do in this case? Ignoring it is not the best choice: every time he contacts us, a notification appears on the screen and disturbs us. The best solution is to mute the notifications for WhatsApp, Faebook Messenger and Instagram chats that don’t interest us. Fortunately, all three applications offer this possibility. It only takes a few seconds to mute the notifications and not be disturbed by stalker messages anymore.
How to mute chats on WhatsApp
Blocking notifications of a WhatsApp chat is very easy. On Android smartphones, just enter the conversation, press on the three dots vertically and then on Silence Chat. A screen will appear on the smartphone with three options “Silence notifications for 8 hours / 1 week / 1 year”. On iOS, the procedure is very similar: access the chat, click on the person’s name and then select Silent.
How to Silence Facebook Messenger
If a person sends you too many messages on Messenger, it is possible to silence the notifications. The process to follow is very simple: open the conversation, click on the “I” icon and then on the Notifications item. A new page opens and you have to click on “Turn off conversation notifications”. At this point, a screen appears on the screen that allows you to choose how long to block notifications: 15 minutes, one hour, 8 hours, 24 hours, until the alarm sounds, until I turn them back on.
How to block notifications on Instagram
Even Instagram allows you to mute Direct message notifications. To do this you need to go inside the Direct section, select the chat and press on the “About” icon. At this point activate the toggle present next to “Mute messages”.
