How to disable WhatsApp notifications on Android

To disable WhatsApp notifications on Android simply access the settings of the famous messaging application and disable the option that allows you to receive a notification for each new message received. Alternatively, by joining a single chat, you can turn off notifications for specific contact or group.

To proceed, take your device, start the WhatsApp app, press the three dots icon located at the top right and select the Settings option from the opened menu. In the new screen displayed, tap the Notifications item and, in the Messages and Groups sections, move the lever relating to the Use high priority notifications option (option that shows notification previews at the top of the screen) from ON to OFF.

Furthermore, if your intention is also to delete WhatsApp pop-up notifications, on the same screen press on the Pop-up notification item and put the checkmark next to the No pop-up notification option. By moving, instead, the lever relating to the Conversation tones option from ON to OFF, you can also disable the sound alerts and silence WhatsApp.

If, on the other hand, you want to disable WhatsApp notifications for a specific contact, access the Chat section of the app, press on the conversation of your interest, tap on the three dots icon located at the top right and select the Disable notifications option from the menu that opens. Alternatively, tap on the contact name displayed at the top and move the lever relating to the item Disable notifications from OFF to ON.

In both cases, indicate how long to silence the chat by placing the checkmark next to one of the available options between 8 hours, 1 week and Always and press the OK button to save the changes. If you change your mind, press the three dots icon again and select the Enable notifications option. Similarly, you can also proceed to disable WhatsApp group notifications.

If you prefer to completely disable WhatsApp notifications, you can act from your device settings. Therefore, access the Android Settings by tapping on the gear wheel icon, press the Notifications item and, in the new screen displayed, select the WhatsApp option.

Now, if you want to completely disable WhatsApp notifications, move the lever next to the Allow notifications item from ON to OFF. Alternatively, you can disable individual notifications by pressing on the option of your interest ( average Reproductions, group notifications, Critical Alerts app, Backup chat history, call notifications, messages notifications, etc.) And moving the lever for the item Allow notifications from ON to OFF. Easier than that ?!

How to turn off WhatsApp notifications on iPhone

To disable WhatsApp notifications on the iPhone it is necessary to proceed from the settings of the famous messaging application or, if you want to completely disable each alert in question, you can proceed directly from the settings of the “iPhone by”.

To proceed, take your iPhone, start the WhatsApp app and tap on the Settings item located in the bottom menu. In the new screen that appears, select the option Notifications and, in sections notifications messages and notifications groups, move the lever on the item Show notifications from ON to OFF, to turn off notifications for individual and group chat. Furthermore, by pressing on the In-app notifications and None options, you can also disable WhatsApp pop-up notifications (those that appear when WhatsApp is not the app open in the foreground).

If, on the other hand, you want to disable notifications for a single contact or a specific group, access the Chat section by pressing on the appropriate item located in the bottom menu, tap on the chat of your interest and press on the name of the person (or group ) displayed above. At this point, tap on the Silent item and choose one of the options available between 8 hours, 1 week and Always, to indicate how long to disable notifications.

As I mentioned earlier, you can also disable WhatsApp notifications by accessing your iPhone settings. In this case, tap on the gear wheel icon on the home screen, to access the iOS Settings, select the Notifications option and press the WhatsApp item.

In the new screen displayed, tap on the Show previews option and put the checkmark next to the Never item, to remove the preview of WhatsApp messages. If, on the other hand, you want to completely disable notifications, move the lever relative to the Allow notifications option from ON to OFF and that’s it.

How to disable WhatsApp notifications on computer

If you usually use WhatsApp for PC, you should know that also in this case it is possible to disable notifications both by accessing WhatsApp Web, the Web version of the famous messaging service and by using the WhatsApp client for Windows and macOS. Find everything explained in detail right below.

How to disable WhatsApp Web notifications

To disable WhatsApp Web notifications, connected to the main page of the service, log in (if necessary), click on the three dots icon located at the top left and select the Settings option from the opened menu.

In the new screen that appears, click on the Notifications item and remove the checkmark for the notifications you want to disable ( Sounds, Desktop alerts and Show preview ). If, on the other hand, you intend to disable all notifications, put the checkmark next to the option Disable all desktop notifications, indicate how long to disable them by choosing one of the available options between 8 hours, 1 week and Always and click on the Disable notifications button.

How do you say? Do you want to turn off notifications for a single chat? In this case, whether it is a group conversation or with a specific person, all you have to do is access the chat in question, press the three dots icon at the top right and select the option Disable notifications. Finally, indicate how long to disable notifications ( 8 hours, 1 week and Always ) and click on the Disable notifications button.

In case of second thoughts, to reactivate WhatsApp notifications, all you have to do is follow the instructions I have just given you and select the option Reactivate notifications / Activate notifications. In this regard, my guide on how to activate notifications on WhatsApp may be useful to you.

Finally, I would like to underline that it is possible to manage WhatsApp Web notifications also from the settings of the browser in use. For example, if you are using Chrome, click on the three dots icon, at the top right, select the Settings option from the menu that opens and, in the new screen that appears, locate the Privacy and security section.

Now, click on the Site Settings item, click on the Notifications option and make sure that WhatsApp Web is present near the item Cannot send notifications. Otherwise, click on the Add button, enter the WhatsApp Web URL in the Site field and press again on the Add button, to block WhatsApp notifications.

To reactivate notifications, instead, press the three dots icon relating to the WhatsApp Web URL and select the Allow option.

How to disable WhatsApp notifications on Windows PC

If your intention is to disable WhatsApp notifications on a Windows PC by acting from the official WhatsApp client settings, you must know that the procedure is identical to what I indicated above to disable WhatsApp Web notifications.

To completely disable WhatsApp notifications from the Windows 10 settings, instead, click on the Start button (the one with the Windows flag ) that you find on the taskbar and press the gear wheel icon, to access the Settings of Windows 10.

In the new window that has opened, select the System item, click on the Notifications and actions option located in the sidebar on the left and move the lever relating to the Notifications item from Enabled to Disabled. Keep in mind, however, that by doing so you will completely disable the display of notifications in the notification center and/or on the lock screen for any application.

How to disable WhatsApp notifications on Mac

How do you say? Do you want to disable WhatsApp notifications on Mac? Again, you can start the WhatsApp client for macOS, press the arrow icon pointing down, at the top left and select the Settings option from the menu that opens.

Then select the item Notifications, put the check mark next to the option Disable all desktop notifications, choose how long to disable notifications by selecting one of the available options between 8 hours, 1 week and Always and click on the button Disable notifications.

If, on the other hand, you prefer to proceed from the settings of your Mac, click on the System Preferences icon (the one with the gear wheel ) that you find on the Dock bar, click on the Notifications option and select the WhatsApp item located in the sidebar to the left.

At this point, you can act on the options WhatsApp alert style, Show notifications on locked screen, Show in Notification Center, Badge app icon, Sound effects for notifications and Show preview, to customize/disable notifications as you prefer.

Instead, by moving the lever relating to the Allow notifications option from ON to OFF, you can disable all WhatsApp notifications. Simple, right?
