How to Mute The Typing notification from Snapchat

Snapchat is a really wonderful application but if you have a lot of contacts. Then you are probably annoyed by the constant ‘is typing’ notifications. Snapchat does not really offer an inbuilt way to dismiss these notifications despite offering you a lot of control over the advertising notifications that you receive. If you have been looking for a way to get rid of these notifications. Then you have landed on the perfect webpage for you. Let’s see how to Mute The Typing notification.

Meet, Filter box, a minimalistic and simplistic notification manager for your Android device. That offers detailed analytics and the ability to create custom rules for your notifications. We will use the Filter box to create a custom rule that will filter out all ‘is typing’ notifications.

The filter box is free to use application that comes with a 90 day trial period for its new users. After this period gets over you will be required to make a one-time in-app purchase of $3.99.

Follow our simple step by step guide to automatically mute ‘is typing’ Snapchat notifications on your Android smartphone. You can even opt for dismissing the notification instead, in order to remove it from your notification shade and dismiss the audio notification as well. You will have to change a simple setting at the end of this guide to achieve this. Let us get started.

Steps

• Download and install Filterbox using this link.
• Open the application and grant it all the necessary permissions that would allow it to keep running in the background.
• You will now be on the home screen of the app. Tap on the ‘Filter’ tab at the bottom of your screen.
• Now tap the ‘+’ icon in the bottom-right corner of your screen.
• You will now be presented with a rule creation tab. Enter a name for your rule in the ‘Rule Name’ field.
• Let the next drop-down menu remain in the default setting called ‘From apps’. Now type ‘Snapchat’ in the text field that is titled as ‘Search apps’.
• Then tap on the app once it shows up from the search menu below the text field.
• In the next drop-down menu, select ‘Contain text’ instead of ‘Any text’.
• A text field should now appear below the drop-down menu. Enter the phrase ‘is typing’ in the text field.
• You should now be able to see ‘Add “is typing”’ at the bottom of your text field. Tap on it to add the phrase to your rule settings.

We will now be splitting the guide into two parts. For users that want to dismiss the notification altogether, and for users that only want to mute the notification.

Choose the steps that are appropriate for you based on your requirements and needs.
