What is hide alerts on iphone?

When you enable "Hide Alerts" on iPhone, it allows you to mute notifications for a specific conversation in the Messages app. This means that you will not receive notifications for messages from that conversation, such as banners, sounds, or badges. However, you will still receive the messages in the conversation and they will be marked as unread.

To hide alerts for a specific conversation, simply open the Messages app, swipe left on the conversation you want to hide alerts for, and tap on "Hide Alerts." You will see a moon icon next to the conversation, indicating that alerts are hidden. To unhide alerts, simply swipe left on the conversation again and tap on "Show Alerts."

This feature can be useful if you want to temporarily mute notifications for a conversation without having to mute your entire phone or if you want to read messages at your own pace without being constantly interrupted by notifications.
