每个人都使用 WhatsApp(Everyone uses WhatsApp)。也许这解释了为什么即时通讯平台有时很少。不请自来的短信、垃圾邮件(spam messages)和过多的群组消息是许多WhatsApp用户必须应对的常见威胁。值得庆幸的是，WhatsApp 静音(WhatsApp Mute)功能可让您在谈话变得麻烦时休息一下。
当来自WhatsApp(WhatsApp)的通知让人分心时，静音对话可以帮助您集中注意力。在本文中，我们将深入探讨如何将WhatsApp通知静音、在(WhatsApp)WhatsApp上将某人静音时会发生什么，以及其他相关查询。
什么是 WhatsApp 静音
WhatsApp带有两种静音(Mute)功能：
(Mute notifications for individual)个人或群聊(group chats)的静音通知和状态的静音(Mute for status)。我们将引导您了解两者及其差异。
当您在 WhatsApp 上静音聊天通知时会发生什么(What Happens When You Mute Chat Notifications on WhatsApp)
默认情况下，每当您收到来自个人或群聊的文本时， WhatsApp都会发送带有声音警报的推送通知。(WhatsApp)但是，当您将某人静音时，WhatsApp将使对话中收到的后续文本的通知静音。
假设(Say)您将堂兄Simon静音，他在(Simon)WhatsApp上不断向您发送令人反感的文本和模因。Simon仍然可以向您发送消息，通过语音或视频通话与您联系，并查看您的状态更新。唯一改变的是WhatsApp不会实时通知您；只有当您打开应用程序时，您才会看到Simon的消息。(Simon)
在静音期间，您会在联系人或群组名称旁边找到一个打叉的扬声器图标。
当您在 WhatsApp 上静音时会发生什么(What Happens When You Mute Status on WhatsApp)
当您在状态更新上按下静音按钮时，WhatsApp不会将该特定联系人的后续更新推送到“最近更新(Recent Updates)”队列。您仍然可以查看静音状态，但您必须一直向下滚动到状态选项卡中的静音(Muted) 更新(Updates)部分。
静音对话并非 100% 有效
将个人聊天静音只会使消息静音，而不是通话。如果静音联系人在WhatsApp上呼叫您，您的手机会响铃并且您会收到通知。对于静音群聊，当参与者提及您或回复您的消息时，您会收到通知。
静音聊天与静音状态
“聊天通知静音”和“状态更新(Mute)静音(Mute)”是两个完全不同的功能，不应与另一个混淆。还值得一提的是，它们是互斥的。静音联系人的对话不会静音他们的状态更新。将联系人的状态更新静音也不会使短信通知静音。
不想同时接收来自联系人的文本或状态通知？您必须在“聊天”部分单独静音与他们的对话，并在“(Chats)状态”(Status)选项卡中静音他们的状态更新。
静音是谨慎的
当您将联系人的对话或他们的状态更新静音时，这是您要保守的秘密。WhatsApp不会通知对方您已将其静音。同样，您也无法判断是否有人将您静音。这同样适用于群聊。群组中的任何人，甚至管理员都不会知道您已将群组静音。
WhatsApp上静音(Between Mute)和阻止(Block)之间的区别
在WhatsApp(WhatsApp)上将某人静音就像关闭电视的音量。除扬声器外，电视的所有组件都将保持正常工作。您仍然可以观看内容、切换频道和做其他事情，但不会因噪音而分心。另一方面，阻止WhatsApp联系人就像关掉电视一样。(WhatsApp)这会关闭电视的所有组件。
静音与屏蔽：个人或个人聊天(Mute vs. Block: For Personal or Individual Chats)
当您在WhatsApp(WhatsApp)上阻止联系人（或未知号码）时，他们的文本和语音消息不会发送给您(voice messages don’t get delivered to you)。他们也无法通过语音或视频电话联系到您。那是因为，就像关掉电视一样，你已经关闭了与该人直接交流的所有点。
此外，他们无法查看您的状态更新、个人资料图片和在线信息（在线状态和上次查看时间）。在WhatsApp(WhatsApp)上阻止某人也意味着您无法通过短信或电话联系该人，也无法查看他们的状态更新，除非您取消阻止他们。
在WhatsApp(WhatsApp)上静音某人是个人喜好的事情。该功能只会使您设备上的消息通知静音，仅此而已。(ONLY)WhatsApp会通知已静音的联系人您的消息 - 除非他们也将您静音。
静音与屏蔽：群聊(Mute vs. Block: For Group Chats)
虽然可以在WhatsApp上将个人聊天和群组聊天静音，但您只能阻止个人聊天。退出组是最接近阻止组的替代方法。
消除干扰
总而言之，将WhatsApp(WhatsApp)上的对话静音只会影响文本通知的传递。您可以将其视为WhatsApp的(WhatsApp)“请勿打扰(Do Not Disturb)” 。它会在指定时间段内关闭个人或群聊的所有警报。就是这样。
您可以在WhatsApp(WhatsApp)上静音的聊天或群组的数量没有限制。但是，如果您觉得需要将多个对话或聊天列表中的每个人静音（压力很大），在您的设备设置中禁用WhatsApp通知是一个更简单的选择。
对于 iOS，请前往设置(Settings )>通知( Notifications )> WhatsApp并关闭允许通知(Allow Notifications)。
对于 Android，导航至设置(Settings )>应用程序和通知( Apps & notifications )> WhatsApp >通知( Notifications)并将选项设置为关闭(Off)。
如果您不想在WhatsApp上阻止某人，那么最好将他们静音。请注意，在WhatsApp上静音或屏蔽某人仅限于该应用程序。静音或屏蔽的联系人仍然可以通过蜂窝电话、短信(SMS)或其他消息传递平台联系到您。
What Happens When You Mute Someone on WhatsApp
Everyone uses WhatsApp. Perhaps that explains why the instant messaging platform is a handful sometimes. Unsolicited texts, spam messages, and excessive group messages are some common menace many WhatsApp users have to deal with. Thankfully, the WhatsApp Mute feature lets you catch a break when conversations become a bother.
When notifications from WhatsApp get distracting, muting conversations can help you focus. In this article, we’ll dive into how to mute WhatsApp notifications, what happens when you mute someone on WhatsApp, and other related queries.
What Is Mute on WhatsApp
WhatsApp comes with two types Mute of functionalities:
Mute notifications for individual or group chats and Mute for status. We’ll walk you through both and their differences.
What Happens When You Mute Chat Notifications on WhatsApp
By default, WhatsApp sends a push notification with sound alerts each time you get a text from an individual or a group chat. When you mute someone, however, WhatsApp will silence notifications for subsequent texts received in the conversation.
Say you mute your cousin, Simon, who sends you incessant and offensive texts and memes on WhatsApp. Simon will still be able to send you messages, reach you via voice or video calls, and view your status updates. The only thing that changes is that WhatsApp won’t notify you in real-time; you’ll see Simon’s messages only when you open the app.
You’ll find a crossed-out speaker icon next to the contact or group’s name during the mute period.
What Happens When You Mute Status on WhatsApp
When you hit that mute button on a status update, WhatsApp won’t push subsequent updates from that particular contact to the Recent Updates queue. You can still view a muted status but you’ll have to scroll all the way down to the Muted Updates section in the status tab.
Muted Conversations Are Not 100% Efficient
Muting a personal chat will only silence messages, not calls. If a muted contact calls you on WhatsApp, your phone will ring and you’ll get a notification. For muted group chats, you’ll get a notification when a participant mentions you or sends a reply to your message(s).
Muting a Chat vs. Muting a Status
“Mute notifications for chats” and “Mute for status updates” are two entirely different features and shouldn’t be confused with the other. It’s also worth mentioning that they are mutually exclusive; muting a contact’s conversation will not mute their status updates. Neither will muting a contact’s status update silence texts notifications.
Don’t want to receive both text or status notifications from a contact? You’ll have to individually mute your conversation with them in the Chats section and mute their status updates in the Status tab.
Muting Is Discreet
When you mute a contact’s conversation or their status update, it’s your secret to keep. WhatsApp won’t notify the other party that you muted them. Similarly, you cannot tell if someone muted you, either. The same applies to group chats. No one in the group, not even the admin, will know that you muted the group.
Difference Between Mute and Block on WhatsApp
Muting someone on WhatsApp is like turning off the volume of your TV. All components of the TV will remain functional except the speakers. You can still watch content, switch channels, and do other stuff but you won’t get distracted by the noise. Blocking a WhatsApp contact, on the other hand, is like turning off the TV. That shuts down all components of the television.
Mute vs. Block: For Personal or Individual Chats
When you block a contact (or an unknown number) on WhatsApp, their texts and voice messages don’t get delivered to you. They cannot reach you via voice or video calls, either. That’s because, just like turning off your TV, you’ve shut down all points of direct communication with the person.
In addition, they can’t view your status updates, profile picture, and online information (online status and last seen). Blocking someone on WhatsApp also means that you can’t reach the person via text or calls, neither can you view their status updates unless you unblock them.
Muting someone on WhatsApp is a thing of individual preference. The feature ONLY silences message notifications on your device and that’s about it. WhatsApp will notify a muted contact about your messages—unless they’ve also muted you on their end.
Mute vs. Block: For Group Chats
While it’s possible to mute both personal and group chats on WhatsApp, you can only block personal chats. Exiting a group is the closest alternative to blocking a group.
Mute Out Distractions
Summarily, muting a conversation on WhatsApp only impacts the delivery of text notifications. You can think of it as a Do Not Disturb for WhatsApp. It shuts out all alerts for personal or group chats for a specified period. And that’s about it.
There’s no limit to the number of chats or groups that you can mute on WhatsApp. However, if you feel the need to mute multiple conversations or everyone on your chat list (which is a lot stressful), disabling WhatsApp notifications in your device settings is an easier alternative.
For iOS, go to Settings > Notifications > WhatsApp and turn off Allow Notifications.
For Android, navigate to Settings > Apps & notifications > WhatsApp > Notifications and set the option to Off.
If you don’t want to block someone on WhatsApp, muting them is the next best thing to do. Note that muting or blocking someone on WhatsApp is limited to the app only. Muted or blocked contacts can still reach you via cellular calls, SMS, or other messaging platforms.
