Why are these features useful?
This premium feature for the mute duration is useful because it allows you to selectively mute specific contacts. This can be useful when interacting with people who are not your friends and want to talk on the phone or are being inappropriate or annoying. It matches one of the features Whatsapp already has, but there are some others it doesn’t.
If a person constantly interrupts you or makes you uncomfortable, it can be hard to get them to stop by sending them a direct message. With this feature, you can easily ignore them without having to reply directly.
Assigning custom sounds is useful because it allows you to set a specific tone for different messages. You may want to do this if you chat with different people. Knowing which tone plays for which chat will help you know whether or not to check your phone.
