How to turn off notifications in WhatsApp?

In the age of constant digital connectivity, finding some peace can be challenging, especially with recurring app notifications. WhatsApp, one of the world's most used messaging apps, can contribute to this noise. However, it provides users with the option to disable notifications. Here's how to turn off WhatsApp notifications for both Android and iOS devices.

Android Devices:

  1. Open WhatsApp and tap on the three-dot menu icon at the top-right corner of the screen.

  2. Select 'Settings' from the dropdown menu.

  3. Tap on 'Notifications'.

  4. Here, you can disable various types of notifications. To turn off all notifications, toggle off 'Conversation tones', 'Message notifications', and 'Group notifications'.

iOS Devices:

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

  2. Scroll down and tap on 'Notifications'.

  3. Scroll down to the list of apps and select 'WhatsApp'.

In conclusion, managing your digital peace is crucial in today's interconnected world. Learning how to effectively turn off or customize your WhatsApp notifications can help you create a more tranquil digital environment, allowing you to focus on what truly matters.
