How do I hide alerts for one person?

Answered by Tom Adger

To hide alerts for a specific person on your device, follow these steps:

1. Start by opening your messaging app and locating the message you want to block.

2. Once you have found the message, tap on it to open it.

3. At the top of the message, you will see the contact’s name. Tap on their name to open the taskbar.

4. In the taskbar, you should see an option called “Hide Alerts.” Toggle this option to the on position.

By enabling “Hide Alerts,” you will no longer receive notifications or alerts for messages from that particular contact. This can be useful if you want to temporarily or permanently silence notifications from someone.

Now, let’s delve into some further details and explore the steps in more depth:

1. Start by locating the messaging app on your device. This may vary depending on the type of device you have. On most devices, you can find the messaging app either on your home screen, in the app drawer, or in the dock at the bottom of the screen.

2. Once you have opened the messaging app, you will see a list of your conversations. Scroll through the list until you find the message from the person you want to hide alerts for.

3. Tap on the message to open it. This will display the entire conversation history with that person.

4. Now, look at the top of the message screen. You will see the contact’s name or phone number displayed prominently. Tap on their name to open the taskbar.

5. The taskbar typically contains various options and features related to the conversation. Look for an option called “Hide Alerts” or something similar. This option is usually represented by a toggle switch or a checkbox.

6. Toggle the “Hide Alerts” option to the on position. Once you have done this, you will no longer receive any notifications or alerts for messages from that specific contact.

It’s important to note that hiding alerts for a person does not block their messages or prevent them from sending you messages. It simply silences the notifications and alerts for their messages.

This feature can be particularly helpful if you want to temporarily mute notifications from someone, such as during a meeting or while you’re sleeping. You can easily toggle the “Hide Alerts” option on or off whenever you want.

Hiding alerts for a specific person is a straightforward process. By following the steps mentioned above, you can easily silence notifications and alerts from that particular contact.
