I’m unsure what happens on the other end when I hide alerts for someone’s messages on my iPhone. Does it notify or appear different for them? Trying to avoid misunderstandings. Can someone clarify how this works?
Nope, they won’t know a thing! When you “hide alerts” for someone on your iPhone, it’s like you’ve just put them in a digital cone of silence just for you. It only affects your device—so their messages still send as normal, and they won’t get any notification or signal that you’ve muted them. Unless, of course, they notice you’re suddenly super slow at replying because you missed their texts. Then maybe questions will arise, but technically, it’s all on your side. So yeah, you’re in the clear unless your ghosting game gives it away.
Oh, hiding alerts on iPhone won’t notify the other person at all—it’s entirely stealth mode! But here’s the thing: while @vrijheidsvogel is totally right about their not finding out directly, I wanna throw in a small reality check. You’re muting your notifications, sure, but if you’re someone who typically answers quickly, and suddenly you’re “forgetting” their texts? Yeah, they might raise an eyebrow or two. People NOTICE patterns, even accidental ones.
Also, quick side note—it doesn’t actually block them, so their messages go through just fine. They won’t see anything like “Hidden alerts” on their end. It’s all very hush-hush unless they connect the dots if your responses slow waaay down. Maybe use some of that newfound “quiet” time to come up with a subtle excuse—just in case.
In short, no red flags for them, but tread carefully if avoiding awkward convos is the goal!
