How to Mute Someone on WhatsApp

Muting is entirely different from blocking. When you block someone both of you entirely get disconnected. The blocked person won’t know about your status, stories, and cannot contact you altogether. However, when you have muted someone, they can still see the updates you share via stories or your status updates.

As I mentioned earlier, they can even message you.  The only thing is you won’t get one single notification about their messages. You can see their messages though, only if you open the chat thread. They will be notified when you see their message.
