I think this is a bug and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced it. I regularly Mute alerts for particular contacts in Messages. It's on a case-by-case basis, so one day I might mute notifications from my friend "Jack" and the next day I don't. However, I've noticed that in 8.2. if I mute Jack's thread and delete the thread (while muted), the next time Jack texts me I never hear it because it arrives muted! It used to arrive non-muted so I could know when I got a new message. For some reason 8.2 is "remembering" that you mute certain people somewhat regularly and keeping that stuck per contact. It's very annoying because I often don't realize I have a message from someone like Jack until well after the fact, because it arrives muted just because I had muted him previously.
Anyone else having this issue? I've done a hard reset and closed and restarted the Messages app. My sound is on (not silent), and alerts for people I don't mute are fine.
