We are not few users that when we enter a group, especially with a lot of people, we silenced it directly not wanting to deal with a large number of notifications, especially if they have sound and vibration, which is why WhatsApp would be considering muting group conversations by default.
Obviously, it is a measure that we can revert at will, but we would simply go on to see how the default state of group conversations would be to be silenced, instead of being with the sound enabled, which is how we find them now.
According to WaBetaInfo, This is a measure that will also come with the fact that WhatsApp will now be able to host up to 1024 users within a single group.that together with the fact that WhatsApp groups are more personal, it is usually more common for there to be a large participation in them, with their corresponding number of notifications.
Another possibility would be that the company wants to ask if we want to silence the groups or not, something that would save us work when it comes to silencing them, but it gives us a better choice if we don’t want a particular group to be silenced. For now it is unknown in which stable version it will arrive, but it is already beginning to reach the Beta versions of the application.
