why does one of my contacts have a half moon against their name

One of my contacts has a half moon against their name when I receive a message from them and I don't receive a notification that any message has arrived - do you know how to turn this off?

It means the donot disturb is turned on for that contact.

It's either done in purpose or accident.

To turn it off , you must go to messages for that person,

Touch the little "I" icon on top right, and slide the donot diturb bottom off, it's one of the ways to do it.


Cheers.
