I use the default messaging app that came with the phone because I like the way it looks and the way it works (LG G3 Android v. 6.0, not rooted). Except, it does this weird thing where it beeps and vibrates every time I switch from SMS to MMS (like when I select a group message) or when I receive a MMS (probably because of the preview - it treats it like I'm switching to group messaging). It wouldn't be a problem, except that it will do this even when the phone is on silent and/or do not disturb. I've turned all notifications for the app off and it still does it. I've even gone to the apps list and blocked notifications - it still does it.
In practice, this means that the app will always at least vibrate when I get a group message or other MMS, no matter what mode the phone is on. I've checked all the settings. There aren't any separate notifcation settings for MMS and SMS, the vibrate is turned off, and the app is not set to priority. Is there some bug in the app? Is it just my phone that does this? Is there some hidden setting for this? I'd rather use the default app, but I'll switch if I have to because I'm often in settings where I really can't afford my phone to even be vibrating just because I'm stuck in a group message.
