WhatsApp: How to mute and unmute status updates on WhatsApp 

WhatsApp introduced the Instagram Stories-like Status updates in 2017. The feature allows you to share text, photos, videos, and GIFs with other users. The updates are end-to-end encrypted and disappear after 24 hours. Although users are not notified for the Status updates, the feature can sometimes be distracting. To help users in such cases, WhatsApp offers you the option to mute Status updates of certain contacts.

The feature is quite similar to the mute feature for chats. Once enabled, you won't be able to see the Status updates from those users in the Status section. To know how to mute and unmute status updates on WhatsApp, you can follow these steps:

1.

Open WhatsApp app on your smartphone.

2.

Tap on the Status option to view the status shared by other users in your contact list.

3.

From the list, tap and hold on the contact name of the user whose status update you wish to mute.

4.

Tap on the Mute option.
