Do group chats with hidden alerts get answered automatically if you have auto-answer feature on?

Just curious to know. Auto answer is enabled, but a group chat has hidden alerts. I assume as I don't receive alerts that a call is going on that it won't automatically answer the call, but I want to confirm this.



iPhone 15, iOS 18

Hide alerts on group message means you won't receive notification when message has been received, you will only see badge on the message app.


Silence unknown callers will send the caller to your voicemail, and from then you'll be notified if they left you a message.
