Mute your notifications

You can turn off and on your notifications for the entire app or specific communities, channels, group chats, and direct messages (DMs) for a designated period. Communities, group chats, channels and direct messages appear greyed out when you mute their notifications.

Tip

You have the option to set notification exceptions to fine-tune your notification preferences, allowing certain notifications to come through even if others are muted. For instance, you can mute all notifications for a channel except for messages sent by a specific user.
