Getting added in family groups, office groups, etc on WhatsApp is sometimes adds to our burden of being o the social media all the time. The never-ending pings after random forwarded messages, or text messages from offices that you don't want to see beyond office time keep buzzing your phone. This gives rise to the need of mute button, which WhatsApp has had for sometime now. But the feature has been updated and we can finally mute the chats FOREVER.

Forever isn't a lie, at least with WhatsApp's mute button. "You can now mute a chat forever," WhatsApp announced in a tweet. The messaging app did have mute option earlier, but with time frame of 8 hours, one week and a year.

As the messaging app extends its mute option to forever, it looks like this is what WhatsApp users had been waiting for since very long. Here is how they reacted to the development.
