How to Silence One Contact on Android

Have you ever been in a situation where you want to silence a particular contact on your Android device? Maybe they constantly send you annoying messages or spam you with notifications. Whatever the reason, it’s important to know how to silence one contact on Android. In this article, we’ll show you how to do just that.

Step 1: Open the messaging app

The first step is to open the messaging app on your Android device. This could be the default messaging app that came with your phone, or it could be a third-party app like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger. Once you have the app open, find the conversation with the contact you want to silence.

Step 2: Long-press the conversation

Next, you’ll need to long-press on the conversation with the contact you want to silence. This will bring up a list of options for that particular conversation. One of the options should be “Silence notifications” or something similar.

Step 3: Choose how long you want to silence the contact

When you select “Silence notifications”, you’ll be given the option to choose how long you want to silence the contact. You can select a specific amount of time, like one hour or one day, or you can choose to silence them indefinitely. If you choose to silence them indefinitely, you’ll still receive their messages, but you won’t be bothered by notifications for that conversation.

Step 4: Enjoy the silence

Once you’ve selected how long you want to silence the contact, you can sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet. You won’t receive any notifications for that particular conversation, so you can focus on other things without being interrupted.
