Mute chat

What is this?

With Mute you suppress the push notifications for an individual chat. The chat stays in your overview and you keep receiving all messages — you are just no longer interrupted by push hints or sounds. Useful in group chats with lots of activity that only marginally concern you.

How to mute a chat

1. Open the chat you want to mute.
2. Tap the menu at the top right (three dots or gear icon).
3. Choose Mute from the menu.
4. Confirm the choice — the chat is muted immediately.

In the overview you recognize muted chats by a small bell icon with a slash. To lift the mute, follow the same path and choose Unmute.

Permission

You need the permission chat.view to mute chats. By default all members have this.

Tips

• Mute active group chats with lots of discussion that you only want to check occasionally. That keeps your lock screen tidy.
• Leave important 1:1 chats with the choir director or section leader active so you do not miss important messages.
• If a chat permanently bothers you and you no longer want to participate, leaving or deleting is the better choice.
• In the general settings you can also disable push notifications for ALL chats globally — e.g. at night or on weekends.
