I have a group chat with a person whose phone number i don’t want to save. Apple keeps suggesting a name and photo for the person but I don’t want to see the photo or the name

for context, we have a lot of conflict and i don’t like seeing this person‘s name or picture when we have to communicate in the group chat. I also can’t leave the group chat because it’s important… I just want to have as much “distance” as possible from this person if that makes sense 😭

I’ve already created a new contact and then deleted it so it returns to the “no photo no name” display but it has returned… :( is there a way to disable the contact suggestions?

EDIT: so sorry i forgot to add!! I have an iPhone 14 with ios 26.0
