It had been on the wishlist for a while, but the gods at WhatsApp finally decided to heed the wishes of us mortals. It always feels a bit like that, because they really know what we need. I always thought it would be such a pleasure to temporarily mute a group chat while on vacation, without having to leave the group coldly and harshly. Just slide it into your archive, without it popping up with a new notification. No one knows or gets hurt. I come with good news. It can, it can, it can! This is the find for vacation, for your weekend away in silence, or for that one day off per week when you just prefer not to be disturbed. Just slide your work app into the archive and later manually put it back.
