When you mute someone on Messenger, you will not receive any notifications from their messages or calls, but you'll still receive the messages in your conversation thread. The sender won't know you've muted them, allowing you to check the messages at your own convenience without the interruption of real-time alerts. This feature is particularly useful for managing interactions from people you don't wish to block completely but need to minimize disruptions from.
