What is what does it mean when someone your texting has notifications silenced?

When someone has notifications silenced on a texting app, it means they won't receive immediate alerts for new messages from you. Here's a breakdown:

• No immediate sound or vibration: Their phone or device won't make a sound or vibrate when they receive your text message. This is the primary function of silencing notifications.

• Messages still delivered: The messages are still delivered to their app. They will be able to see your message when they open the app, but they won't be immediately alerted to it.

• Reasons for silencing: There are various reasons someone might silence notifications, including being in a meeting, sleeping, wanting to avoid distractions, or simply needing some quiet time. This can be enabled on a per-conversation basis or globally for all conversations.

• Not necessarily personal: While it might feel personal if someone silences notifications for your specific conversation, it could simply be that they are dealing with many notifications, or trying to focus on something else. Consider the context of your relationship.

• Checking the app: The recipient will still see the message when they open the texting application. They will eventually see your messages, just not immediately. There could be a visual cue in the messaging app such as a bell icon with a line through it, showing the conversation is silenced. It varies between apps.
