2Â Now It’s Much Easier to Mute Conversations
iOS 11 has renamed the Do Not Disturb option in Messages to “Hide Alerts”. The best part is that you can easily access it via a swipe gesture. Now when you’re in Messages, simply swipe a conversation to the left and choose Hide Alerts. You’ll no longer receive any notification of new messages from this particular conversation. This option is available for both SMS messages and iMessage.
