Hide Alerts not working for my group chat on iPhone

My hide alerts isn’t working for group chat. I’m not sure what update it was or if it’s just a random glitch, but it hides alerts for individual chats. This started happening within the last month. I have an iPhone 14 and it is updated with 18.3 so it would be updated.

I stumbled on something that seems to correct this. I found a very old post that talked about a separate setting that you can get to from your list of messages, not within the problem group message. If you click on the problem group from that list there is another ‘show alerts/hide alerts’ toggle. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, but mine is currently saying ‘show alerts’ followed by a bell. Then when I go into the message and look at settings there I have ‘hide alerts’ with the slider moved to on. Why these two settings don’t mesh up I have no idea, but I have had two days now where the mute is back to working.
