- Press Options > Mute > OK.
- Select the length of time you'd like to mute notifications for.
- Press OK.
Alternatively, open the group chat. Press Options > Group info > Mute notifications. Select the length of time you'd like to mute notifications for, then press OK.

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.
