Half moon next to contact on iPhone

Hello.

All u need to do is swipe left at the name on the right from message list.

There’s “hide alerts n Delete”

Click on show alerts.

Simple as that.

Cheers took me ages had to work it out myself.

Everyone always saying turn off the moon derrrrrr tks. Not it.

Regardless of phone... if the iOS is up to date, slide text to left - as if to delete - and see “turn notifications on”. If that is not there - the information button at top right of text - then toggle the hide/I hide noti

Text the person. Then from your home screen click on the messages icon. Then where it lists your messages and shows you the name of the person you texted swimp left on their name. There will be a thing that says "hide alerts." Unhide that person.

Open your Messages App. Tap the contact that has the grey half-moon next to it. When the messages open, tap the circle "i" icon in the top right corner. Under the name, you will see "Send My Current Location" and "Share My Location" in blue. Beneath that you will see "Hide Alerts." If that is green, tap on it to make it white. That will turn that function off. Tap "Done" in the top left corner to seal the deal.

It worked for me.

In iOS 11.2.5; Open your Messages App. Tap the contact that has the grey half-moon next to it. When the text messages open, tap the circle "i" icon in the top right corner. Under the name, you will see "Send My Current Location" and "Share My Location" in blue. Beneath that you will see "Hide Alerts." If that switch is green, tap on it to make it white. That will turn that function off. Tap "Done" in the top left corner to seal the deal.

It worked for me. 😀

Hi Kadelarosa

i just figured this out, using the information from a few of the threads.. It was very confusing, but turns out to be very simple in the end

in the Messges app 'inbox' select the contact person's name

Swipe left on the person's name

You will see a blue square (show/hide alerts) and a red square (Delete)

select the blue square "hide alerts". This will show a half moon icon beside that person's name.

If you want to get rid of the half moon (I.e. to receive alerts when that person sends you a message), just press the blue button again. This will "show alerrts".

i hope this makes sense

kind regards

As others have said, open a text from that contact then click on the information icon (i within a circle) however rather than looking for a Do Not Disturb button, look at the “Hide Alerts” option and slide that to Off and then close it out. When you go back to your Messages there should no longer be the moon next to thier name/pic

She isn’t crazy. I was having the same issue and people kept giving the instruction to turn off the do not disturb when that is NOT an option. Nor does it say DO NOT DISTURB in the contact info. It’s the HIDE ALERT option that needed to be turned off. It helps when people who give answers actually give THE RIGHT ANSWER!

It is actually the “Hide Alerts” button you have to tap when you hit the info button.

Hi Lmuhlenbeuck. Can you explain what you mean when you say "next to her texts?" If possible, please provide a snapshot for an example. Take a snapshot by pressing the home button and sleep button at the same time. Also, when you say that there is no text tone, do you mean that when you receive a text it is silent, whereas other contacts receive a text tone?

That symbol is visible when the "do not disturb" is on. I had it show up with texts from a friend even though I never opted to use the Do Not Disturb (didn't even know it was there). To get rid of it:

Click on the message. The screen with the text should have a Details box in the upper right corner. Click on that & undo the Do Not Disturb option.

That is because you enable the "DO NOT DISTURB" feature on that specific phone number. Kindly open His/Her contact info and tap "EDIT" and at the very bottom you will see "DISABLE/ENABLE DO NOT DISTURB"

I did not enable this feature. I have had iPhones most of my adult life. I think I would know if I silenced my fiancé.

Just answer the question and stop assuming. This is sounds like a bug within Apple systems.

I have done what you posted and there is no feature at the end or anywhere in my contact before or after tapping Edit.

It means for her, do not disturb is on. To turn it off go to her contact and tap the info button in the top right corner then turn off do not disturb. Hope this helps!
