Do you get so many messages on Telegram every day that your phone screen starts flashing every two minutes? And that too from groups you don’t care about much? As powerful as Telegram is, it can also be quite noisy – especially when you are a part of many groups. Let me tell you how you can mute any Telegram group in just a few seconds.
Benefits
Sometimes groups are important – like office updates, college groups or special interest groups. But not every message is important to you.
- Get rid of recurring notifications
- Avoid distractions
- Save battery and data
- Check messages whenever you want
- Privacy & peace of mind, both intact
How to mute
- Open the Telegram app
- Open the group you want to mute
- Tap the three dots (…) in the top right corner
- Tap “Mute Notifications” or “Notifications”
- Here you will get the option to choose the time –
- For 8 hours
- For 2 days
- Forever
Choose any option as per your convenience
How to Mute a Group from Desktop or Web
- Open the Telegram web or desktop app
- Select the group
- You will see a bell icon near the group name at the top
- Click on it and select the “Mute for…” option
- Here too you can choose the option for 8 hours, 2 days or forever
Will Muting Stop Messages from Coming
Many people think that if you mute a group, the messages will stop coming. But this is not the case at all. Muting simply means that Telegram will not send you notifications from that group. Messages will keep coming, but without any sound or popup.
That means, whenever you are free, open the app and read all the messages comfortably – without any interruption.
