You can now mute notifications for message channels, giving you more control over when you’re notified.

Muting a channel silences all push notifications, badges, and sounds while still delivering messages and tracking unread counts.

This feature works for both 1:1 conversations or group chats, allowing you to temporarily silence channels without missing important messages.

How to Mute a Channel:

Muting a conversation:

• Open the Messages tab and navigate to the chat you want to mute

• Click the three dots (•••) in the chat to open the settings menu

• Select Mute from the dropdown options

• Choose your preferred mute duration from the prompt

• The channel will now display a muted symbol to indicate notifications are silenced

Unmuting a channel:

You can unmute any channel at any time by following the same steps and selecting Unmute from the settings menu.

What Happens When You Mute:

• All push notifications, badges, and sound alerts are silenced for that channel

• Messages continue to be delivered normally

• Unread message counts are still tracked

• A muted symbol appears on the channel to remind you it’s muted

Best Practices for Muting Channels:

• Mute high-volume group chats during focused work time or rest periods

• Use temporary mutes for channels that are active but not urgent

• Remember to check muted channels periodically for important updates

• Unmute channels when you’re ready to receive notifications again
