How do I silence incoming voice calls on WhatsApp?

I've been forced by my relatives to install WhatsApp on my iPhone. I use it only for text messages, so I disabled camera, voice, etc. and, what I thought, was all sounds from it in the iPhone settings.


But once in a while, one of my older relatives decides to make a voice call to me. In that case the WhatsApp app starts playing this annoying ringing which I cannot kill -- that is very frustrating especially if I'm at work.


Is there a setting (or some other way) to prevent it from ringing the incoming voice calls?


PS. I do not want to silence my phone completely. Just WhatsApp.

iPhone SE, iOS 13

I just went through all the settings I can see for Whatsapp, via Notification Settings and from inside the app itself. I don't see any way to silence calls.


Since Whatsapp is not an Apple product, you should reach out to them directly to see if there's any way to do this.
