How can I disable app notifications in Windows Phone 8? Specifically, I'm looking to turn off notifications on a per app basis so I can disable notifications from Whatsapp.

Usually there should be something like "Notification On/Off" in the settings inside each application but it doesn't look like there is something. Try to go to settings-> swipe to application and block WhatApp if you can find it there.

There's no setting for whatsapp in settings, and there's no 'background tasks' entry for it either. Apparently once you've installed it, whether its pinned or not, you're going to get toast notifications whenever someone decides to send you something, as long as you have the app installed. Could get potentially annoying. I'd send feedback to the whatsapp guys asking for a 'turn it off' feature. – Joe Healy Mar 1 at 0:39

The next version, now in Beta will allow you to turn off notifications.
