I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace Duos. I want to stop displaying my WhatsApp message notifications in the status bar and the notification menu.

I found the answer for Galaxy S4 that suggests:

  • Go to Settings
  • Choose the More tab
  • Choose Application Manager
  • Choose WhatsApp
  • Turn off Show notifications

But in my device I am not able to find a More tab in the settings menu. Is there any other solution for this?

    Tried with this too.with all 4 options but not working. Even i didn't find any other option. Is it not possible to disable the notifications in status bar and also in the list of notification?

You need to go into the actual Android settings, and then Application Manager:

Android Settings > Application Manager > WhatsApp

Then untick "Show Notifications".

You can then choose to enable pop-up alerts for messages or groups. (In my case I only wanted an alert if a single person sent something to me - not inane group chatter!)

I disabled the notifications for whatsapp by going to the application manager for the phone.
