I have a group text set to Hide Alerts, and y watch is set to mirror phone, however I still receive every single message on my watch, while my phone hides them perfectly. I have reset both the watch and phone. Is there a fix for this, or a bug that needs to addressed? iPhone X OS 12.2 Watch series 2 OS 5.2
