Besides that, users can also turn off notifications from groups

Another important addition to the WhatsApp for Android application is the ability to hide notifications. So even if the group is muted now the phone won’t display silent notifications like before. By unchecking “show notifications,” users can completely silence any group.

The latest version also added the ability to hide notifications for a group, by just unchecking the “Show Notifications” features from the app settings. Another new feature is the addition of a camera icon in the text input field of messages, which lets users quickly attach media to the chat and send it to the recipient.
