WhatsApp to let you hide annoying Status updates forever; here’s how

WhatsApp’s another interesting feature that is now available to beta users is hide muted Status from contacts. It should not be confused with ‘hiding’ the WhatsApp stories. This, essentially, allows you to hide the Stories from the contacts that you have already muted.

Those who put up stories on social media, say on Snapchat, Instagram and WhatsApp, must have picked up on the fact that the so-called ‘muted’ stories appear gray under a different segment in the bottom. This is done by long-pressing a story after which a pop-up on screen that says “New status updates from the contact (contact name) won’t appear under recent updates anymore” with options to ‘Cancel or ‘Mute’ underneath.
