message notifications don

I no longer receive notification sounds on my iphone 11 when I receive text messages. I’ve checked it in settings but it still doesn’t alert me. I just set up an Apple watch which vibrates with messages but not on phone any longer.

Hello patfrompine knoll shores,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities, and I understand from your post that notifications are not appearing for messages on the iPhone. I'll do what I can to help.


Depending on the settings you checked, be sure to look out for these too:


Cheers.

The setting on my watch says that notifications will come over my watch if my iphone is locked or sleeping. It’s always locked since I have face recognition to open it. Settings on my phone shows under do not disturb that that even if DND is not on, under Silence there are only 2 options: “Always” or “While phone is locked”. Can’t uncheck both.

So if my phone is not in front of my face, I will not get notifications for messages??
