WhatsApp: how to silence a conversation without going into the application | Technology

WhatsApp is full of tricks and constantly surprises its millions of users with innovative features. The new feature of tagging messages as read without having to access chat, now adds something that will delight more than one: silence a conversation directly from your notification.

This alternative is now available to all app lovers thanks to a new beta version of the app that was recently released on Google Play, according to WABetaInfo, a site specializing in the discovery of all its hidden secrets .

Although the option to mark messages as read may not yet be appreciated, the option to disable chats is already available in the 2.18.216 beta version of the application.

This new feature of WhatsApp consists of "a button that will appear in the chat notification itself, and that will allow the user to stop receiving new notifications of that particular conversation".

With this, WABetaInfo informs that it will only be possible to silence the conversation when more than 51 messages have been received consecutively. If this does not happen, the new function can not be used because the button will not be displayed.

To use this ideal alternative for those who belong to group chats, just be part of the WhatsApp beta program for Android and download the latest beta version of the app on Google Play.
