Now mute chats forever with the new WhatsApp feature. The Social media app is rolling out a new ‘Always’ option in the chat setting to let you mute your chat forever. Until now the feature was under beta testing and now a stable version is out for the general public.

Facebook-owned chatting app WhatsApp took to Twitter to announce the new ‘Always’ option in chat settings to allow the users to mute a chat forever. Earlier the users were allowed to mute notifications for chats individually for up to 8 hours and 1 week and 1 year. But now the 1 year has been replaced by the Always option in the chat settings whereas the 8 hours and 1-week option remains unchanged. The feature is being rolled out to iOS, Android and WhatsApp web as well.
