Want to mute annoying chats on WhatsApp, Messenger, and Telegram? Here's how to do it

Check these steps to mute unnecessary messages on Telegram, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.

New Delhi: It is now possible to stay connected 24 hours a day, seven days a week, thanks to messaging applications like WhatsApp, Messenger, and Telegram. Messaging apps like WhatsApp, Messenger, and Telegram have essentially brought us closer while being thousands of miles apart. Chat apps may make us feel like we're sitting in a room with a friend or family, whether it's for a festival or just a regular conversation. This is how pervasive these apps are in our life.

While keeping connected is a wonderful feeling, it can also be overwhelming at times. Having a constant barrage of messages all the time might be irritating, especially in chat groups with several participants. Thankfully, all of these applications have a mute feature that allows you to silence a group chat or a specific discussion for a certain period of time or indefinitely. Here’s how to mute conversation in Messenger, WhatsApp, and Telegram.
