How to Mute Groups, Chats, and Channels in Telegram on Android

First off, you need to go to the Telegram app on your Android device.

Next, tap on the chat, group, or channel you would like to mute.

From the menu that comes up, tap on the “Mute Notifications” option.

Now, you should see a message pop up on the screen. From the pop-up, select how long you would like the conversation to be muted. If, instead, you want the conversation to be muted forever, tap on the “Disable” option.

Choose Time To Mute Notifications

Once you have done this, the conversation will be muted, and you should notice a Mute icon next to the name of the conversation in your chat list.

If you change your mind later and would like to unmute the conversation, go back to it, tap on the three-dot menu button, and select the “Unmute Notifications” option.

That’s all.

How to Mute Groups, Chats, and Channels in Telegram on iOS

The process for muting conversations on iOS is very similar to doing it on the Android Telegram app. The difference, however, is the time duration for muting. On iOS, the time duration you can mute a conversation includes one hour, one day, two days, or forever.

First off, go to the Telegram app on your iOS device and tap on the chat, group, or channel you would like to mute.

Now, tap on the name of the chat, group, or channel at the top of the screen.

Now, tap on the “Mute” option. A pop-up will appear on the screen.

From the pop-up, select how long you want the chat to be muted. If you want the chat to be muted forever, select the “Mute Forever” option.

Now, the conversation will be muted. You should also notice a tiny mute icon next to the name of the chat.

If later on you change your mind and want to unmute the chat, go back to the conversation and tap on the name of the contact, channel, or group at the top of the screen. Tap on the Unmute option.
