Just got a newer iPhone and set all sound and vibration notifications and alerts to no and yet every time a message comes through it vibrates.

Any idea how to stop that other then setting the entire phone into "not disturb" mode?

Can't figure out how.
Either long press on the entire folder or long press on any 1 picture and then press on "1 selected".

My firm's wifi is blocking watsap only for Android devices for some reason.

Is there any workaround?

Do both parties need to have that version for  it to work or just the sender?
