Are you tired of receiving constant notifications from a particular contact on your Android device? You don’t have to delete their number or block them entirely. Android has a feature that allows you to mute a contact without them knowing. In this article, we will guide you on how to mute a contact on your Android device.
Step 1: Open Your Contacts
The first step to muting a contact on your Android device is to open your contacts. You can do this by tapping on the contacts icon on your home screen or app drawer. Alternatively, you can access your contacts from your phone’s dialer app.
Step 2: Select the Contact
After opening your contacts, scroll through the list and select the contact you want to mute. Tap on their name to open their contact details.
Step 3: Tap on the Three Dots Icon
Once you have opened the contact details, look for the three dots icon on the top right corner of the screen. Tap on the icon to reveal a drop-down menu.
Step 4: Select “Mute Notifications”
From the drop-down menu, select “Mute notifications.” A pop-up will appear asking you to confirm if you want to mute notifications from the contact. Tap on “OK” to confirm.
Step 5: Choose the Duration
After tapping on “OK,” another pop-up will appear asking you to choose the duration you want to mute notifications from the contact. You can choose to mute notifications for a day, a week, or even a year. Select the duration that suits you best.
Step 6: Confirm Your Choice
After choosing the duration, tap on “OK” to confirm your choice. You will no longer receive notifications from the selected contact during the chosen duration.
Step 7: Check Your Muted Contacts
To check your muted contacts, go to your phone settings and select “Sound and vibration.” From there, select “Do not disturb” and then “Exceptions.” You will see a list of your muted contacts.
Step 8: Unmute a Contact
If you want to unmute a contact before the chosen duration ends, repeat steps 1-4 and select “Unmute notifications” instead of “Mute notifications.”
Step 9: Mute Group Notifications
You can also mute notifications from a group chat on your Android device. Open the group chat, tap on the three dots icon, and select “Mute notifications.” Choose the duration you want to mute notifications from the group and tap on “OK.”
Step 10: Turn Off Notifications
If you want to turn off notifications entirely for a particular contact or group, instead of muting them, you can do this from your phone settings. Go to “Apps & notifications,” select the app you want to turn off notifications for, and toggle off “Allow notifications.”
That’s it! Now you know how to mute a contact on your Android device. Enjoy a peaceful notification-free experience.
