useIsChannelMuted

Returns the channel mute status and keeps it in sync with client mute events.

Best Practices

Use this hook instead of manually checking channel.muteStatus() in render.
Read muted from the returned object for unread badge and style decisions.
Keep mute indicators subtle and consistent across channel previews.
Avoid duplicating mute event listeners in custom list components.
Handle default unmuted state while initial data is syncing.

Usage

import { useIsChannelMuted } from "stream-chat-react-native";

const MutedIndicator = ({ channel }: { channel: Channel }) => {
  const { muted } = useIsChannelMuted(channel);
  return muted ? <Text>Muted</Text> : null;
};

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
channel	`Channel`	Yes	Channel whose mute status is observed.

Returns

The hook returns the channel mute-status object (from channel.muteStatus()):

Name	Type	Description
muted	`boolean`	Whether the channel is currently muted.
createdAt	`Date` \| `null`	When the mute was created, or `null` if not muted.
expiresAt	`Date` \| `null`	When the mute expires, or `null` if it never does.
