You can now mute a WhatsApp chat forever

This is a much-awaited feature and in our opinion should have been there since the very beginning. The Facebook-owned messaging platform, WhatsApp, has finally introduced a forever option in the mute menu for users across the world. WhatsApp took to Twitter to announce the introduction of this feature for both Android and iOS users. The messaging platform has also confirmed that this new feature will also be available on WhatsApp for Web version.

Until now, WhatsApp allowed users to mute a chat for a few hours, weeks or a year. WhatsApp has now removed the option of muting chat for 1 year with forever. The coming of the new mute forever feature comes as a relief for many users. The new mute forever feature will be rolled out via an OTA update.
