Chennai: WhatsApp has brought a small but noticeable change. The app previously allowed you to mute chats for 8 hours, 1 week and 1 year. The option for 1 year has now been replaced with ‘Always’.
This means you can now mute chats for eternity. So if you are part of a group chat which for some reason you can leave then this is a great option for you.
Simply mute that chat for eternity and save yourself from annoying message alerts all the time. You can anytime open the chat to follow with what’s going on in the group.
With the introduction of the ‘always on’ will definitely end the noise on the group chat and also, concentrate on more important tasks than constantly glancing at the phone for every annoying notification sounds.
Besides that, WhatsApp is also testing ‘Expiring Media’ wherein the content will automatically disappear on the receiver’s phone. This is akin to the Snapchat feature.
