How To Mute/Unmute iMessage Conversations on iPhone

If you want to mute text notifications from certain contacts on your iPhone, you can easily do it now right inside of the iMessage app.

By muting a text conversation, you’ll still receive the text, it just won’t constantly alert you of it. This is nice and makes those busy group chats a little less annoying. Or maybe someone has been saying they’ve been texting you but you’re not receiving the alerts, and you’ve turned this on by mistake.

Let’s look at how to mute or unmute text messages inside of the iMessage app on an iPhone. First open the message app.

Like I said, this works for all messages in here, whether it’s a single chat or a group chat. Find the contact or group you want to mute notifications for and slide to the left partially across the screen. If you slide to far, it will ask you if you want to delete the text. That’s not what we want.

Slide just enough to see the bell and trash icons, and then let go. You can now tap the bell, which will then mute that text thread. Now in the future, when you receive a text message from that contact or group, your iPhone won’t alert you. You can still see though when new messages have come through, by the unread badge.

In the future, if you want to unmute the text conversation, you can just head back into here, swipe to the left to access the notification bell, and then tap it again to unmute.

This is also a tip to try when someone says they’ve been texting you but you’re not receiving alerts from them. You may have somehow accidentally turned this on, or forgot you had done it in the past.

A couple of other things people have asked about this I’ve noticed, are what about text chats that you pinned, or ones that you’ve deleted. If it’s a deleted text, you do have to wait until you text again to do this. If there’s no text inside your messages, then there’s nothing to mute.

As far as pinned messages, how you silence these, is to press and hold on the contact pin until the pop up window appears, and then select hide alerts here. Text messages from that pinned contact will now be silenced. You can then unhide alerts by doing the same thing again and selecting show alerts.

And that’s how you mute or unmute text message alerts on an iPhone.
