Not receiving a pop-up from a particular number?

Whereas, for the other contact that has this option enabled, you will continue to receive this notification. Blocking these notifications doesn’t always work as with Samsung Galaxy phones.
The other reason that you are not getting it is that the sender doesn’t approve the read report request to be sent but rather cancels it.
