LINE group mute is useless! '@All' still triggers notifications; one trick to escape
Translated from Chinese, summarized and contextualized by DistantNews.
At a glance
- Many LINE users are frustrated by persistent notification alerts from group chats, even when muted.
- The issue arises when someone uses the '@All' function, which bypasses mute settings.
- Users can disable 'mention notifications' in LINE settings to stop these alerts, but this also silences individual mentions.
A common frustration among LINE users is the inability to escape disruptive notifications from group chats, particularly when the '@All' function is used. Despite setting group chats to mute, alerts continue to flood in when someone tags everyone in the chat. This issue is a frequent complaint on social media platforms, with users expressing their desire for peace after work hours and their reluctance to leave work-related groups entirely. Many users feel the '@All' function is overused, leading to constant interruptions. To address this, LINE offers a 'mention notification' setting that can be turned off. This feature, accessible through the main LINE page settings, will stop pop-up alerts for both '@All' tags and individual mentions. However, users should be aware that this setting cannot be applied to individual group chats; disabling it affects all groups. Alternatively, users can utilize their phone's built-in 'Do Not Disturb' or 'Sleep Mode' features to schedule periods of silence for LINE notifications, ensuring they can rest without missing important messages.
Even if you mute the group, when someone uses '@All', notifications still jump wildly.
