In the future, WhatsApp should let you mute notifications from a group chat with just a tap on the PC version of the app. A novelty that makes sense in view of the direction the service is taking.

On WhatsApp Desktop, muting all notifications from a group chat with a single click should be a reality in the relatively near future. As spotted by the insatiable WABetaInfo, which constantly unearths the future novelties of the application, the Meta service is working on this type of function which is still under development.
The idea is simple: in the header of the WhatsApp desktop application, a small bell would appear at the top right once said group conversation was opened. Then just click on it to mute all chat participants. At first glance, this novelty might seem trivial and unimportant.

And let’s be honest, getting into a conversation with 800 people — even 400, really — might not be ideal if you’re allergic to notifications.
An easy switch
This is where the “mute” shortcut that WhatsApp is developing would come in. Also, the use of the application on a computer is no longer as restrictive as before thanks to the arrival of multi-devices. There is now no need to reconnect to your account from your PC. The switch between his smartphone and the latter was really made easier.
This can push us to use WhatsApp Desktop more frequently, which then seeks to refine its user experience on this type of platform. For now and according to WABetaInfo, this little addition is not yet available to the general public. It should probably land in the next few months.
According to CyberNews, nearly 500 million WhatsApp numbers have leaked on the net and are for sale on a community site dedicated to piracy. The media assures that it was able to analyze a sample of data,…
