Have you ever been caught in a group iMessage conversation where your phone keeps buzzing every five seconds? We've all experienced that. 

In the past, to stop the constant buzzing, you had to activate iOS's Do Not Disturb feature or disable all notifications for the Messages app. But now, it's simple to just exit the group chat or mute it.
