Sherry, Hide Alert is supposed to get rid of the sound alerting you that a new message has come in. Perhaps when you changed the setting and still got the sound, you had the person re-text you too quickly for the change to take effect? I am speculating here.
I have a different objection to the current texting configuration. If I delete a text Message and that person texts me again later, I get the entire conversation back. I really dislike this. If I have deleted it, I’ve done so for a reason and don’t want the entire message string to come back at me. Does anyone know how to change this?
