Muting someone on Facebook Messenger means you will no longer receive notifications when they message you.
This can be useful if you need to take a break from someone or if you’re not interested in talking to them at the moment.
However, it’s important to note that muting someone doesn’t block them from messaging you altogether – they will still be able to send you messages, which you can read at your leisure.

FAQs
The answer is no! Since Facebook does not notify the individual when you mute or unmute them, you will be the only one who knows. That’s because Facebook ensures that your decisions, such as muting chats from a particular user, are kept private and respected.
If someone is bothering you or sending you too many messages, each of which causes a notification, you can mute them to prevent the distraction. Note that muting them will not stop them. Instead, you can see their communications later, avoiding several unnecessary notifications.
