My iPhone 8 will not let me silence a group text. When I click on the ”I” button it tries to compose a new message.

How do i mute a single conversation /iMessage on ipad? I have a group text (iMessage) and want to mute that one text on my IPAD. How? There are simple instructions for the iPhone but I can’t find anything for the iPad which operates differently.

iPhone11 keeps muting/hiding alerts on group chat So for the past week my iPhone 11 keeps muting/hiding message alerts for a group chat on iMessage. I keep unchecking the hide alerts option but no more then 30 seconds later it’s muted again with the little moon symbol on the chat. I’d really like to get this sorted without leaving the chat as I like to look back on previous files and messages sent, but obviously if there’s no other option I’ll have to give it a go. I have already tried turning my phone on and off several times and have checked if it needs updating, but it is up to date.

my iphone is not receiving group message text (green bar) unless i turn my iphone off the power it back on Im in a group message for work and some of the people have android phones. I had no problem with the group message until a few days ago when I realized I wasn’t getting any of the messages my co workers were sending. I rebooted my phone and the texts flooded in. Now the only way I can see the texts is if I turn my phone off then power it back on. Please help.

The best way is to go to the group message and press the info symbol in the top corner then scroll down and flick the button for do not disturb, if this doesn't work you could try settings>sound>text tone> none? Or turn off ringer.
