Notifications are kept silent for 1 contact only

.With 1 of my contacts, the Apple messages app (iMsg) mentions that the notifications are kept silent. Via the Focus settings, among other things, I don't see anywhere that this has been set for that contact. Are there any other settings or things I can check that could be causing this. Or could this also be due to some setting of the contact's iPhone?

iPhone 12, iOS 16

Check Individual Contact Settings:

  • Open the Messages app on your iPhone.
  • Find a conversation with one of your family members.
  • Tap the contact name at the top of the conversation to open the contact details.
  • Check if "Hide Alerts" or "Emergency Bypass" is enabled for that contact. If so, toggle it off.


Check Mute Conversation:

  • In the Messages app, swipe left on the conversation with your family member.
  • If "Hide Alerts" or "Mute" is enabled, tap on it to unmute the conversation.
  • Hide Alerts watch the GIF below
