Recently, WhatsApp added a new Mute everyone feature to the group chat in the Android beta version. Well, this mode will improve the group chat experience, providing users with a more fluid experience.

What exactly does it do?

As you are aware, the @everyone tag was introduced in WhatsApp earlier, making the user experience more fluid and easy when making an announcement for the entire group or a specific member at a time, but you must remember that great power comes with great responsibility. While you may occasionally experience an excessive notification flood in groups that irritates you, this is especially common in larger and busier groups.

With this new setup, you can:

• To block the notification, use the @everyone option for either the entire group or the selected members.

• This will assist you in increasing the notification setting under the setting that you created yourself.

While this feature is turned off by default, you can enable it based on your preferences.

Why does it matter?

At first glance, these notifications appear to be under control and manageable, but after a while, they become overwhelming. Looking at this, WhatsApp introduced this feature that allows you to:

• Reduce the overwhelming number of notifications.

• This will improve focus while keeping you inactive while working.

• Make sure you can receive only the notifications that are important to you.

Availability

So, if we talk about the Mute @everyone option, it is still in development and not even available to all beta testers. On the other hand, there are no official words from WhatsApp regarding the rollout schedule. Well, until this feature becomes available, you can stay connected with us for the latest news coverage.
