iMessage automatically "reading" message from 1 specific contact

I'm not longer getting notifications for iMessages received from one specific contact. I've verified this by turning on read receipts and this particular sender is seeing that I'm immediately reading the messages after they are sent.

Do Not Disturb is not on and I do not have alerts hidden for this contact.

I have an iPhone 7 on iOS 11.4

Thanks,

Not Receiving iMessage Notifications from One Contact on Any Device I have an iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, and a MacBook Pro. I send and receive iMessages with all of them. Everything was fine until a couple days ago, when I no longer received any iMessage notifications from a specific contact. It would seem the system thinks I'm reading the messages, even though I am not, as I don't recall seeing an unread message indicator when opening Messages. I have always had Read Receipts disabled, if that makes any difference. Troubleshooting steps that have been taken are as follows: My devices are up to date Do Not Disturb/Focus is turned off We both restarted our devices The other person updated their iPhone to the latest version I disabled and re-enabled iMessage on my iPhone via Settings > Messages I hid, then showed their alerts with the Hide Alerts feature I disabled and re-enabled Messages notifications I would like to avoid deleting the message thread at all costs.
