How to Disable Notification on WhatsApp Web

If you want to minimize distractions and maintain a greater focus during your everyday activities, it’s useful to know how to disable notifications on WhatsApp Web. While notifications can help stay updated on important conversations, an excessive amount can hinder them.

Fortunately, disabling notifications on WhatsApp Web is a simple and convenient process that can be accomplished directly from the app’s ‘Settings’ tab. Below, you’ll find more detailed instructions on how to do this, allowing you to better tailor your WhatsApp experience to suit your needs and preferences.

Disable Notification on WhatsApp Web

1. Open WhatsApp Web and click on the “Three dots” icon located at the top of the left menu;
2. In the open menu, access the “Settings” tab;
3. Accessing the messenger settings, click on “Notifications”;
4. Once this is done, you can disable other specific notifications that were previously marked, such as “Sounds,” “Desktop Notifications,” or “Message Preview”;
5. If you want to disable all notifications, check the option “Mute all notifications” or “Mute notifications and reactions”;
6. In the pop-up that opens next, select how long you want to keep silent and click on “Mute notifications” to confirm the action. In case you’re worried, this action only impacts the web version of the messenger. If you mute WhatsApp Web notifications, your mobile app will not be muted.
