What does mute mean in text messages?

Mute is a feature which allows you to silence (or turn off notifications) a conversation that’s not relevant right at this moment. You can choose to mute conversations for an hour, until the next day, week, until all messages are read or until you unmute the conversation.

What happens when you mute someone on your phone?

The mute button cuts off the microphone on your phone. This means that you can still hear the caller but they cannot hear you. As the caller will then have no indication that the call is still live, the mute button should only be used for short pauses in conversation.
