My brother has an iPhone X and no matter how many times he disables “Hide Alerts,” they keep coming back! He does not want to “Hide Alerts.” He disables them on a text message convo and it comes right back! He does not want to delete the message thread. Anyone else experience this?
iPhone X, iOS 13
My mom just had this same issue, and this is what we found. The conversation she was having this issue with was one that she had pinned to the top of her text messages in the message app. She would click to unhide alerts and it would keep turning on again.
Solution that finally worked after weeks of the issue? Unpinning the conversation!!! As soon as she unpinned the conversation she was able to edit the alerts again without any issue.
I didn’t see anyone mention pinned messages here, but I figured I’d mention it just in case it’s what you are experiencing.
happening to me. It shows off for a bit but then comes back after the phone locks. this is dangerous in a way if there is an emergency. I wish i never did this now cause i am constantly looking now at the person in hide for a doctors appointment. should of silenced the phone instead smh.
APPLE NEEDS TO FIX THIS ASAP
i have an iphone X latest 14.4.2
The same exact issue started for me about a month ago.... I have tried everything to keep alerts on for a thread that I do not want to delete. My daughter turned off alerts one day so that it would not interrupt music she was playing and since that day it will not stay on.
I turn the alerts back on and then I look again and they’re off again. Turn them back on in the list of messages, turn them back on in the actual message and it still doesn’t work they just shut back off. Hide alerts is completely useless right now because I do not wanna hide alerts on any thread because for fear that it will not turn back on
My “Hide Alert” button continues to turn on by itself. I’ve done everything like everyone has already mentioned and it still continues to turn itself on. And yes my phone Xr is updated What is going on Apple?!! I miss very important messages because of this glitch. Please fix it.
Ugh- not sure my initial response posted.
This is exactly my issue!! His alerts on one conversation earlier this week; now even though I want the alerts back, and have tried every way to restore them, this conversation constantly reverts to a dnd status. So frustrating!
This is happening to me on an all iPhone group. I’m too scared to test any other group or single person conversation.
I have noticed that it specifically turns the alerts off after I say something in the group. If I read a text and do not say anything, it doesn’t always turn off again.
I'm so very frustrated by this.
Except it's still hiding the alerts. It's just not saying it is. The thread is "set" to not hiding alerts, yet I'm still NOT being alerted when new messages appear.
I really hope someone fixes this soon. Sorry if my last reply sounded confusing.
Same issue here on both iPhone 6s and iPhone 8. Latest updates applied.
I am also having this issue with one of my pinned conversations. It hides alerts on my iOS device after continuously unchecking that option, but my macbook pro still shows alerts fine.
Same issue here
Same thing is happening to me on IPhone 8. And it’s only happening to the one thread that I hid alerts one time. Keeps hiding them on that thread automatically now, even after I continue to unhide.
I am having this problem as well but on messages on Big Sur, since since same app base not surprised this bug can appear both on iOS and Mac now.
Same issue here. Been happening for about a month. Also on software 14.4.1
ugh. At least we know even with the update it’s an issue. I was wondering if the update corrected it or not.
Nope. My only device.
“Hide Alerts” keeps coming back!
