How to mute the status of your contacts on WhatsApp

WhatsApp statuses arrived in Spain three years ago, although this function has not become the great success that the application expected in its day. There are users who see how their friends and family do not use this feature, while in other cases it is likely that your friends and family will upload status continuously in the messaging application.

Luckily, the ability to mute contact statuses was introduced a while ago. This will allow stop seeing in WhatsApp the states that these people go up, since they are also hidden in this tab in the application. So you will not have to see those states that you are not interested in seeing.

How to fix the error “Phone offline” in WhatsApp Web

If using WhatsApp Web you get the message “Phone offline”, there are a number of solutions you can try to put an end to this problem.

Mute statuses in WhatsApp

For many users in the application these states are something unnecessary, which doesn’t really add anything. For this reason, they have no interest in seeing the statuses of their contacts and even less those contacts that continuously upload statuses. As in social networks, we can silence these states, so that you will not be able to see them anymore. The steps to do this are simple:

1. Open WhatsApp.
2. Go to the States tab.
3. Find the status of that person you want to mute.
4. Enter that state.
5. Click on the three dots icon in the upper right.
6. Click on mute.
7. Confirm your action by pressing mute again.

With these steps the status of any of your contacts on WhatsApp is silenced. If there are more people you want to do this with, you will only have to repeat the same process with all of them, so that all their states will be silenced in the application.

The problem with this system is that a person has to upload a stator in the application so that you can silence it. There is no way to do this if that person has not uploaded a statement on their account. Although the idea in this case is usually to silence those people who continually upload states, which are the ones who are annoying.
