EditTips

  • Entries can only be added one a time.
  • You can edit or remove existing entries to your muted words after you submit them.

EditWarnings

  • If you already added a word to your mute list when the feature applied to notifications only, it will currently be set to Notifications only; From anyone; Forever. You can change this, though.
