iOS 15 muted messages

Hello Claire,

We see that this isn't regarding read receipts, although that may be something worth looking into as another option.

Upon researching a bit, while you mentioned you're not using Focus, it does sound like what is described under the third paragraph in the section 'Turn on Focus' here: Use Focus on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

From your screenshot, this looks like it may be expected behavior. To confirm, which exact steps did you take to turn off notifications for that contact?

If you have a compatible model, the latest version is iOS 15.1.1. You can verify this within Settings > General > About. Here's a link that'll show how to first back up, then Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Take care!

Hi Claire,

We'd like to help answer your question to what we think you're describing regarding read receipts for Messages.

Read Receipts, when disabled, won't allow someone to check if you've read their message or not. If this is the option you are referring to, it can be disabled in Settings > Messages > Send Read Receipts.

Take care!
