How do I mute a conversation?

You can mute a conversation for 8 hours, 24 hours, 1 week, or until you turn it back on.

While a conversation is muted, you won't get push, email, or on-site notifications for it, including for reactions. Nothing else changes. Messages still arrive as usual and the conversation still shows as unread in your inbox.

To mute a conversation:

  1. Open the conversation in your Inbox
  2. Select the three dots menu at the top of the conversation and choose "Mute." On a wide screen, "Mute" is also in the "Actions" list in the panel on the right.
  3. Choose how long to mute it: "For 8 Hours," "For 24 Hours," "For 1 Week," or "Until I turn it back on"
  4. Select "Mute"

No one in the conversation will know you've muted it.

Muted conversations show a small mute icon in your Inbox. Timed mutes end on their own. To unmute a conversation sooner, open it and select "Unmute" from the same menu.
