Does anyone else have the issue of receiving text messages on their phones from group text messages that are supposed to be muted? The text thread is muted on my iPhone and I made sure that the watch is mirroring my iPhone, but I am still getting notifications no matter what. I've reset my watch and set it up as a new watch, unmuted and deleted the text thread, muted it again and I am still getting notification from the group chat. I also made sure to delete the thread from the messages app from the watch and still nothing. The phone does not show any notifications, however, I still see them popup and vibrate on my watch. I've googled everywhere and tried couple methods of checking if people are in my VIP or favorites list and nothing.

Is there anything else I can try?

Running WatchOS 5 with iPhone 7 on iOS12.
 
I'm having the same issue and it's driving me insane. Group text is silenced on the phone but still come through to watch. Watch OS5 on a series 4.
