I hate group text conversations, especially when it's full of people I don't know replying to everyone on a list.
Unlike gmail, where you can mute a conversation thread in your inbox, no Android phone comes with a mute group text conversation option.
I downloaded the Textra app in order to blacklist spam numbers and found a handy function called "Override Default Settings".
If you long press on the group text conversation and click the 3 vertical dots on the top right corner it gives you 2 options : Override Default Settings, and Blacklist
If you don't want to blacklist your friends and receive messages from them in the future choose Override Default Settings.
This opens a new menu. Click Notifications, and then change Enable Notifications to OFF!
This then puts all future notifications on mute. Hooray, rejoice!
Finally!
Now if only Android would figure out how to include this in their own messaging apps...
