Problem: you have several very active chat threads but you don't want them to contribute to the global unread message badge count on Textra icon or system notifcations. aka 99 unread message and I missed one.

Solution: now you can select individual threads and "mute" their counters to longer contribute to the global unread message badge and notification bars.

However, each thread will still show unread message count badges on their respective threads internally in the app itself.

Now you you fully mute your talkative friends and family and never miss an important unread messsage.
