How to remove WhatsApp Group notifications

Groups are one of the coolest things about WhatsApp, but when there are enough members or they are very active, your cell phone will be constantly ringing, vibrating and showing notifications. Being very drastic, you could disable all WhatsApp notifications from the Android settings, or at least disable the vibration and sound. If only notifications from a certain group bother you, you will have to refer to that group’s settings in the WhatsApp application.

You simply have to open the group chat, touch the menu button, that is, the three dots at the top, and choose «Info. group ». On that screen, you must activate the “Mute notifications” switch. This means that the cell phone will stop ringing or vibrating with each notification. Choose the period of time, after which both things will be automatically activated again.

If you also want to stop seeing the WhatsApp icon and its notification in the top bar or status bar every time a new message is published in the group, you should leave the “Show notifications” option unchecked. In this way, you will only find out about new messages in the group when you open the application.

Instead of turning off sound and visual notifications, you can also customize them for that specific group. That is, specify what type of sound you want, vibration, notification light and notifications in high priority, those that appear on the screen temporarily.

The difference between this compared to the general Group notifications in the WhatsApp settings, “Notifications” menu (from where you can also deactivate the sound, vibration and put a custom sound), is that any change in these notifications will affect all groups who you have joined. The possibility indicated in this article allows you to choose which groups you want to mute.

As I said at the beginning, Android also allows you to deactivate, disable, hide or remove all WhatsApp notifications, both for contact and group messages. You just have to go to the Android application manager, search and choose WhatsApp, and finally uncheck the Show notifications box. However, this is much more radical because it affects all your chats and groups on WhatsApp. You will stop seeing visual notifications and sounds completely for any message on WhatsApp.
