Moon icon in iMessage

My friend and I have both upgraded to ios 8. Now, every imessage she gets from me has a moon symbol next to it. Neither of us has Do Not Disturb on and all other imessages come through without the symbol. Sometimes the moon is a gray crescent and sometimes it is a blue circle with a crescent moon inside it. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of these?

iPhone 5c, iOS 8

Click on the text of the person that has the moon symbol. Then click on the details icon (“i” circled) in the top right hand corner. Scroll down and there’s an option to “Hide Alerts”. If it’s green, then you’re hiding the alerts of that person, which will show the moon symbol. Slide it to off, which will change to gray. Now you will start receiving alerts again from that person. You need to do this for each person who has the moon symbol. There’s nothing in settings that will do this.. only by each individual person in your texts/messages. 😊

I have been trying to figure this out for WEEKS!!! Finally got an answer to it. It is something you turned on accidentally. When you open that persons messages click DETAILS in the top right of your screen and in the middle of the details area there should be an option that says Do Not Disturb. You cannot see this in your settings. Only on the details of that persons messages. It makes the notifications from this person silenced. May come in handy for some people BUT super dumb when you dont mean for it to be on. Im just glad I FINALLY found out how to make it go away haha


HOPE THIS HELPS!!! <3
