If someone is annoying you by sending texts or calls, you can mute their chats. In this article, we'll guide you on how to Mute WhatsApp and Messenger chats to ignore messages and calls.

How To Mute Messenger Chats

Step 3: Then you'll see options like mute message notifications, mute call notifications, and mute message and call notifications.

Step 4: You can select any of them to avoid annoying messages and calls on Messenger.

For the unaware, Messenger has an option named the "Ignore messages." You can get the option when you long-press any chat. If you are going for this option, you won't get any notifications and the sent messages won't be delivered. Only if you open the particular chat and send any message to that person, then you can see previously sent messages.
