Group Text On iPhone11, Phone Keeps Muting Alerts on a Thread

I have a group text thread with three others. I muted alerts on the thread while I was busy on Wednesday. I went in to the info on the thread and unmuted the alerts Wednesday evening. But the mute/dnd on that thread seems to keep turning itself back on. Every time I return to the iPhone Messages app, the mute on that thread is turned back on. I have reset it dozens of times. I have closed the app and restarted it. I have rebooted the phone. I have checked on my laptop, and tried turning off the mute there instead. But it keeps re-muting that threat. Help!

this was happening to me also. I looked at the group message on my watch after I unmuted the group text on my phone. It was still muted. On the list of messages on my watch I swiped left and unmuted. I think it worked.


it’s three days later than the comment I made above, and this method does work. Apparently the group chat can be muted on the watch, and doesn’t synchronize with the group chat mute/unmute on the iPhone.

so just make sure the chat is not mited on your watch.
