Re: Mentions and Group Conversations on iPhone

[Margaret Thomas]

I think I did what Malcolm suggests this morning when I did what Mike 
suggested.  Anyway, it is off now.  I've turned everything off that 
folks have said to turn off and still get some form of the word mentions 
when I'm working in the messages app and I just looked again and it is 
in my rotor along with characters, words, misspelled words etc. and I 
can't deselect it from the rotor the way I normally do since it isn't 
listed as a choice.

I just turned the phone off and back on again and started composing a 
text to myself and there were other texts from me to me on the screen. 
I swiped right to get to text field and it said the usual text field 
double tap to edit and that darned form of the word mentions.  I don't 
know why I have it in the rotor and no one else does.  I'll try a search 
like Mike B. did after a long break.

Thanks for your patience.  Any more suggestions would be greatly 
appreciated.

Margaret

I am not quite sure who said that mentions is in the rotor, but there is 
no such animal. Do what Malcolm suggests.

Hello,


Not sure whether this will address your issue but try the following.

Go into Settings and Messages.

Navigate to the heading Mentions.

In here is a Notify Me button.  Deselect this.  The explanation reads: 
 When this is on, you will be notified when your name is mentioned 
even if conversations are muted.

Good morning Margaret,
I don't have Mentions on my rotor and I don't have it in 
Accessibility / Voiceover / Rotor either.  I don't have a clude as 
where or how you would remove it from the rotor.  I tried doing a 
couple of searches for removing the Mentions option from the rotor 
and only got some Youtube links, which I didn't listen to since 
they're usually done, for and by, sighted folks.
Hopefully another list member can help us both out with an answer>
Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.

Hi, Mike:

The first part went fine, but I'm not finding mentions in settings,
accessibility, VoiceOver, rotor to delete mentions from the rotor.  Is
it somewhere else or am I not awake enough or...?

Thanks,

Margaret
