title: "Mute a Chat 🔕"

## How do I mute a specific chat in Keet?

If one group or DM is noisy but you still want alerts from everything else, you can mute just that chat for a set period instead of [snoozing all notifications](/file-sharing-and-messages/snooze-notifications) app-wide.

<Callout type="info">
🔕 Muting a chat only pauses alerts for that chat - message delivery, message sync, and app usage all continue as normal.
</Callout>

<Tabs items={["Desktop", "Mobile"]}>
<Tab value="Desktop">

1. In the chat list, hover over a chat and select the '**•••**' icon, then select '**Mute**' to open the duration list:

2. Choose how long to mute for - **Forever**, **30 minutes**, **1 hour**, **2 hours**, **12 hours**, or **1 day**. The chat list now shows a mute icon next to that chat:

![The chat list now shows a mute icon next to that chat.](/images/file-sharing-and-messages/mute-a-chat/desktop/chat-list-muted-icon.png "Mute a Chat 🔕 · Desktop")

You can also mute from inside the chat - open it, select the chat name to open '**Group info**', then toggle off '**Notifications**' to open the same duration list:

'**Group info**' now shows the active mute and the time it ends:

## What happens while a chat is muted?

While a chat is muted, Keet:

* Does **not** show native push notifications for that chat.
* Does **not** show in-app notification banners or toasts for that chat.
* Does **not** play notification sounds for that chat.

Muting never blocks message delivery, message sync, or app usage for that chat - you'll still see everything as normal once you open it. Muting one chat has no effect on any other chat's notifications.

<Callout type="warn">
🔕 Your device's own settings take priority over Keet's in-app mute. If your OS-level Do Not Disturb, Focus, or notification permissions block Keet, notifications stay blocked even for chats you haven't muted. See [Notifications](/technical-support-and-troubleshooting/notifications) for OS-level notification troubleshooting.
</Callout>

## How do I stop muting a chat early?

<Tabs items={["Desktop", "Mobile"]}>
<Tab value="Desktop">

Select the '**•••**' icon next to the chat, or open '**Group info**', and select '**Unmute**':

![Select the '•••' icon next to the chat, or open 'Group info', and select 'Unmute'.](/images/file-sharing-and-messages/mute-a-chat/desktop/chat-options-unmute.png "Mute a Chat 🔕 · Desktop")

</Tab>
<Tab value="Mobile">

Long-press the chat and tap '**Unmute**', or open '**Group info**' and toggle '**Notifications**' back on:

![Long-press the chat and tap 'Unmute'.](/images/file-sharing-and-messages/mute-a-chat/mobile/long-press-unmute.png "Mute a Chat 🔕 · Mobile")

You can also swipe left on the chat and tap '**Unmute**':

![Swipe left on the chat and tap 'Unmute'.](/images/file-sharing-and-messages/mute-a-chat/mobile/swipe-unmute-action.png "Mute a Chat 🔕 · Mobile")

</Tab>
</Tabs>

The mute also turns off on its own once the selected duration ends - you don't need to do anything.

## Does muting a chat sync across my linked devices?

Yes. A chat's mute state is saved to your profile, so it propagates to any [linked device](/installation-and-setup/link-devices) using the same profile, as long as that device supports per-chat mute.

## Can I mute group chat notifications for a particular time period?

Not for an individual group yet - for a single group, you can only toggle its notifications on or off manually. If you want to pause alerts for a set time, you can [snooze all notifications](/file-sharing-and-messages/snooze-notifications) app-wide instead, from 30 minutes up to 1 day.
