Silencing a Whatsapp group I would like to stop receiving new message notifications from a certain Whatsapp group. Is it possible?

Clarifications:


I don't want to leave the group.
I don't want to turn off all Whatsapp notifications. There are other groups from which I still want to get notifications.
I don't want to just mute the notification sound. What I want is to get rid of the group's notifications entirely.
Since WhatsApp version 2.11.399 and above for Android you can disable notifications when group is muted.

Follow this:


Open your group which you wanna mute.
Now go in 'Options' > 'Mute'.
A dialog box will pop up and as of WhatsApp version 2.11.399 select the max period available to mute your group which is '1 Year'.
Untick the 'Show Notifications' checkbox. Then click 'OK'.


You won't receive any notifications now from this group on your status bar.
