Okay, here’s a breakdown of the article, summarizing how to stop WhatsApp Status mention notifications, especially within groups:
The Problem:
* WhatsApp Status mentions in groups can be disruptive, even if you’ve customized yoru general notification settings. This is as Status mentions are treated as Status notifications, bypassing your existing preferences.
Solutions:
- Mute Individual Users: (Most Effective for Specific Offenders)
* Go to the updates tab in WhatsApp.
* Find the status update from the person who’s frequently tagging the group.
* Long-press on their name and select Hide.
* This moves their Status updates to the Muted Updates section, so you won’t get notifications for their mentions, but you’ll still receive their regular messages.
- Disable Status Notifications Globally: (For a Blanket Stop)
* Go to You (your profile icon) -> Notifications.
* Scroll down to the Status section.
* Toggle Show notifications to off.
* Also,disable Reaction notifications to further reduce alerts.
* if available, toggle Reminders to off as well.
Key Takeaway:
To truly silence Status mention notifications, you need to address the source of the notifications (either specific people or the Status feature itself) rather than relying on general group notification settings.
