Group chats are great for planning trips but sometimes you need to silence them – here’s how

Ping, ping, ping, ping. You’re in a Zoom business meeting and your iPhone is blowing up with texts about plans for your vacation. You could silence it but you are waiting for an important call. Here’s how to temporarily hide alerts.

Open iMessage and go to the group chat. Click on the name of the chat at the top, then scroll down until you see the option for Hide Alerts and slide that button.

If you want to leave the group entirely there have to be at least three other people and they all have to use an Apple device.
