Messages repeat notifications not working

Not sure if this is a bug with iOS 13 but I also recently upgraded my phone and watch over this past weekend and I've noticed that repeat notifications are no longer working for me. I've ensured they are set on both devices - watch is mirroring my phone, phone is set to repeat up to 10x (the max). I even tried testing turning it off on my watch, turning the watch completely off and it does not work on my phone. I've restarted both devices as well. I've turned off repeat notifications, restarted my phone and turned them back on, nothing. I only ever get 1 notification. Anyone else running into this issue?

Just to make sure I booked a appointment at my local Apple Store today for them to confirm it was a IOS issue.

When I told the guy about the Repeat Notification not working he said it shouldn’t be doing that even on this new IOS 13/13.1 so surprisingly he exchanged my handset for a replacement new 1 and I’ve got home and No! unfortunately the issue is still there so yes I’d say 1000% it’s a IOS issue but I’m happy I’ve got a new phone.

I definitely think now that this is an ios issue/bug. This was working just fine on ios12. It was also is settings/messages.

now in ios13 it has been relocated to settings/notifications/messages.

this has to be more wide spread just people don’t use this feature to know.

now after all the comments above and all these updates and still nothing.

i will now call and do the song and dance.

I was in a chat today with Apple support and he didn't seem to know about this bug either. He asked me to either take my phone to the store to get looked at or try setting it to recovery mode and restoring it from backup. I'm not going to do either because it won't fix the issue. I remember you said that you already took yours into the store, right? and still no resolution? Still don't think they intentionally disabled the feature though.

I just spent a hour and 10 minutes on phone with apple and they had me talk to 2 different people recheck all settings etc and i told them im not stupid and exactly when it happened and no one seems to be aware of issue but after being very persistent they said they did find 2 complaints on it just in last week in their system reports ---so i told them the google users are making a fool of them on this simple issue and finally the person i talked to last a head supervisor said she now knows hers isn't working also as she just realized hers didn't work over the weekend!! This is really a sad thing for apple to not address such a issue that is making them look like the BUTT on this!!!
