How do I fix, mute symbol next to Contact's text thread

[Idelgado782]

Thank you! I was looking through three actual contact settings and also through the settings in the text messages app itself and I couldn't find it! I don't even know how it happened in the first place!

Thank you for the help!!

Thanks for this. I thought perhaps the recipient had blocked me etc. I looked through all the obvious profile settings, which is where I think that option SHOULD be.
Many thanks

OMG this helped me too. Like you I'm thought my boyfriend had blocked me. I was so upset.

Thank you for explaining how to get rid of the mute symbol. That has been bothering me and I couldn't figure it out. I don't even know how notifications got turned off in the first place. If I had seen your post first, it would have saved me much aggravation. Thanks Again!

Wow cool thanks I've had my S6 for over a year and never knew about this setting. I am curious however, how the heck did it turn on because I have never clicked that little arrow. There must be some type of shortcut to activate it.

Same problem, Thank you

I had the same issue but here is the fix..
1) open the text of the user
2) click on the down arrow beside their phone number top left (conversation setting should open)
3) change the notification setting (if the setting selector is grey then they are muted)

Your welcome!

FRICK-ing thank you. Somehow "pocket-changed" this setting for wife's texts and spent an hour on my own trying to undo it. Ugh. Great that there are still people helping just for the sake of being helpful to strangers.

I recently muted a group conversation and deleted the thread by accident. Now I receive no notifications and can't see the group chat at all. Any idea where I can change the settings of a deleted thread?
