When you mute someone on WhatsApp, several things happen:
- Muting a personal chat will only silence messages, not calls. If a muted contact calls you on WhatsApp, your phone will ring and youll get the call.
- The person youve muted 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 the messages only when you open the app.
- When you mute a contact’s conversation or their status update, WhatsApp won’t notify the other party that you muted them. Similarly, you cannot tell if someone muted you, either.
- Muting someone on WhatsApp is a way to silence message notifications on your device, but it does not notify the muted contact about your messages.
- Muting a chat means you will not receive any audio notifications every time the contact sends you a message directly. You will have to check the contact’s muted chat in WhatsApp to see new messages from that person.
- Muting a chat will not mute call notifications; it only mutes message notifications.
- When you mute someone, they wont know that youve muted them, and the other person will not be notified when you mute them.
- If you suspect that someone has muted you, there is no definitive way to know if youve been muted on WhatsApp. However, you can look for signs such as not receiving replies or seeing your messages marked as “read” without getting a response.
In summary, muting someone on WhatsApp silences message notifications, but the person can still send you messages, call you, and view your status updates without being notified that they have been muted.
