Group Chats are becoming ever more important as WhatsApp increased the number of people that can join a group up to 1024 participants and sub-groups for WhatsApp communities.
How will it work?
A mute shortcut will show up within the header of group chats. It will be easier to disable notifications of messages received in the group. WhatsApp is aiming to reducing the number of notifications you received from group chats every day.
