Mute Individual Conversations

In this video, I’m going to show you how you can easily mute a conversation that you are having in the Messages app on the iPhone. Let’s go to my iPhone.

Let’s go and open up my Messages app. I’m looking at all of my different conversations here. Now, what I want to do is I want to mute my conversations that I’m having with my friends. Let’s say I was working, so I did not want to be disturbed. I didn’t want to receive any notifications from them.

To mute this conversation, all you do is just swipe over to the left, and you’re going to see this little bell with the line through it. I tap on it, and now we can see that that conversation is muted. This is what that little crescent moon indicates, that the conversation is muted. If there is a new message in this conversation, I would not get alerted because it is muted. To unmute it, we just go and repeat the process. I swipe over to the left, and now you’re going to see that the line is no longer on the bell, which means that when I tap on this, it’s going to unmute it. And now we can see it is unmuted.

So that’s how we can easily mute a conversation in the Messages app. All we have to do is just go over to the conversation we want to mute, swipe over the left; you’ll see a bell there. If it has a line through it, it’s going to mute that conversation when you tap on it. If it does not have a bell on it, that means that the conversation has already muted, and when you tap on it, it’ll unmute it. To see if a conversation is muted, just go to the left of the icon, and if there’s a crescent moon there, that means that it is muted.

So that’s how we mute our conversations in the Messages app on the iPhone.
