How to turn off messages notifications when open?

[Tully Page]

Is there a way to get the text notifications to not play when the messages app is open and your on that message? Just converted my girlfriend from apple to an S8 to test drive android and she can't stand having her phone go off while the message thread is open. On her iPhone if the thread was open it didn't play the normal ringtone. I've searched but can't find a solution.

Hi Welcome!

Is this the stock message app?

Welcome to Android Central! Is she using the stock Samsung messaging app? That behavior doesn't happen with Google's Messages app, so that would be one workaround.
