To silence iMessages on your iPhone, follow these steps:
1. Open the Messages app: Locate the Messages app on your home screen and tap on it to open it.
2. Find the contact: In the Messages app, you will see a list of your recent conversations. Scroll through the list and find the contact you want to silence.
3. Swipe left on the contact: Once you have located the contact, swipe left on their name or conversation to reveal a set of options.
4. Tap on the bell icon: Among the options that appear when you swipe left, you will see a bell icon. Tap on this icon to mute the conversation.
5. Confirmation: After tapping on the bell icon, you will notice that the same bell icon appears next to the conversation. This indicates that the conversation has been muted successfully.
By muting a conversation, you will no longer receive notifications for new messages from that particular contact. However, you will still be able to view and reply to their messages in the Messages app whenever you wish.
Muting conversations can be useful when you want to temporarily silence notifications from a specific contact, such as during a meeting or while you’re trying to focus on something important. It provides you with control over your notifications and helps reduce distractions.
