iPhone X hidden alerts but still pushing to AW

[yanki01]

I have certain group text i've hidden the alerts but they still push to my AW. does anyone have an idea why?

Messages are "mirror my iPhone" on my AW. I had to delete one thread because i wasn't getting any notifications when i turned off the DND. now when i turn on "hide alerts" - i get them pushed through on my AW. they are hidden on my iPhone though.

-hard reset of both does nothing.
-unpair and repair does nothing.

iPhone X iOS 11.4
AW watchOS 4.1

thanks.

Curious about this as well since my AW does the same thing - I get notifications for MMS group chats which I have "hide alerts" set on my iPhone.

Any update on this?? I have had this happen for MMS since I updated to iOS 12 and watchOS 5.

It's only for the group messages I have with Android/iPhone combos. The iPhone only messages works just fine.
