+ Mute the chat: Muting a chat will silence notifications for that chat, but the messages will still be delivered. To mute a chat, open it, tap on the three dots in the top right corner, and select "Mute."

Use a third-party app: There are a number of third-party apps that can be used to block or filter messages from certain senders. These apps can be a good option if you want more granular control over who can contact you.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind:
- If you mute a chat, the sender will not be notified that you have muted them.
- If you archive a chat, the sender will still be able to see that you have archived the chat.
- If you turn off notifications for WhatsApp, the sender will still be able to send you messages.
- Third-party apps may not be compatible with all versions of WhatsApp.
Which method you choose will depend on your specific needs and preferences.
