How to stop receiving messages from someone on WhatsApp without blocking them

If you want to stop receiving messages from someone on WhatsApp without blocking them, you can use the "Mute" feature. Here are the steps to do so:

1. Open WhatsApp and go to the chat of the person you want to mute.
2. Tap on their name at the top of the chat.
3. Scroll down and select "Mute notifications."
4. Choose the duration you want to mute notifications for: 8 hours, 1 week or 1 year.
5. Optionally, you can also select "Show notifications" to disable message previews in the notification bar.

Once you have muted notifications for the person, you will no longer receive sound or vibration alerts when they send you a message. However, you will still receive their messages in your chat and you can read them whenever you want. To unmute the person, follow the same steps and select "Unmute notifications."
