Note: When you mute message notifications for a chat, your device won’t alert you of incoming notifications. However, it’s important to remember:
- Contacts aren't notified that you’ve muted the chat.
- Contacts will still receive read receipts when you read their messages.
- You’ll still have the unread message count next to the chat.
