Is your iPhone buzzing non-stop with notifications from a group chat gone wild?

Does your iPhone sound like it’s hosting a rave every 5 minutes?

Maybe it’s a family thread with endless GIFs, a work group that won’t quit, or that friend who just discovered emojis.

Don’t worry, you don’t have to resort to silencing your entire phone — there’s a better way!

iMessage allows you to mute specific threads, giving you control over which conversations demand your immediate attention.

Here’s how to do it.

  1. Open the Messages app.
  2. Locate and tap the conversation you want to mute.
  3. Tap the contact names or group name to open the details screen for the conversation.
  4. Toggle “Hide Alerts” to the “on” position.
