    When should I use mute?

                          When a group sends too many messages throughout the day.
                          When you want to study, rest or focus without constant alerts.

                          When a chat is active but not important for you at the moment.

                      Using Privacy Settings

                      Messaging apps include privacy tools that help you control what others can see about you. Using
                      these settings keeps your personal information safe and reduces unwanted attention. By choosing
                      who can view your details, you create a safer and more comfortable online space. To protect your
                      privacy while using messaging apps, follow these important settings:

                          Profile visibility: Limit your profile photo and status so only your saved contacts can view
                         them instead of allowing everyone access.

                          Last seen: Hide your “Last Seen” status to stop others from tracking when you were last online.

                          Contact control: Allow messages only from people saved in your contact list to avoid chats
                         from strangers.
                          Personal  details: Remove  sensitive  information  such as your  full name,  school  name  or
                         location from your profile to stay safe.

                          Status privacy: Choose who can view your status updates so only trusted contacts can see
                         what you share.

                          Chat filters: Turn on message filters that move unknown or suspicious chats to a separate
                         folder, helping you avoid unsafe conversations.

                          Read  receipts: Disable  read  receipts  so  others  cannot  see  when you  have opened  their
                         messages, giving you more control over your privacy.
