Have you ever wanted to take a break from a conversation in your Facebook Messenger? Perhaps too many messages are coming in and you aren’t ready to go through them just yet. Muting the thread won’t stop from notifying you when you get @mentioned, and leaving the conversation is not an option. Luckily, now you can ignore messages without having to be notified that you received them!
Ignore the Conversation
- Tap
to launch Facebook Messenger. - Press and hold the conversation that you want to ignore.

Ready When You Are!
Sometimes, you just aren’t ready to go through your online conversations. Muting them does not stop notifications and blocking them is a bit too much.. It’s a good thing the Ignore feature of Facebook Messenger goes in-between muting and blocking, making it easier to set these messages aside until you’re all set to read them! Be in control of your conversations and maximize the app’s convenient feature.
