Muting a conversation means you will no longer receive notifications for new messages in that thread, but you'll still receive the messages. It's a handy feature when you want to reduce distractions without wholly ignoring or leaving the conversation. The conversation continues as usual, and you can check the messages at any time. It's perfect for busy periods or when a thread is overly active but not immediately relevant. Most messaging apps offer this feature directly from the chat options.
