Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and program products are disclosed for blocking group message replies.

The method may also include blocking the client application from receiving the replies to the group message.
Claims23
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory that stores code executable by the processor to:
- receive an indication in a group message at a client application to block the client application from receiving replies to the group message using an option selected by a user, wherein the client application comprises a messaging application, the group message comprises a toolbar and a message body, the toolbar comprises a silent remove option and a notify remove option separately selectable directly from the toolbar, the silent remove option results in a plurality of client applications removing a user account associated with the client application without notifying a recipient list of the group message that the user account is removed from the recipient list, and the notify remove option results in the plurality of client applications removing the user account associated with the client application and notifying the recipient list of the group message that the user account is removed from the recipient list;
- and
- block the client application from receiving the replies to the group message.
