Wifi iPhone when the screen is locked

I don't get calls or messages from messengers when my iPhone is blocked. It's like when the screen is turned off, the iPhone disconnects from wifi. And after 10-20 minutes, you get a notification about an unread message and a missed call. And I need to get calls and messages instantly. I checked all the ways. How do I fix it ?

iPhone 7, iOS 13

WIFI connectivity. iPhone X, software up to date , whenever phone is locked , wifi switches to cellular and when I pick up , in 4-8 secs , it connects back to WiFi. As it happens / something else , messages like WhatsApp don’t notify when they were sent, unless I unlock /wake or after some time they appear. This delay does not happen when I am actively using the phone. what / how can I get this WiFi continue to work seamlessly. Thanks.

WiFi disconnection has nothing to do with missed calls if they are voice calls.

However please look at the pic below and see if Notification Center is enabled for Locked Screen on your device

Settings > Touch ID & Passcode >

Thanks for the answer. I checked everything is turned on there. But I was referring to audio and video calls coming from whatsapp telegram and instagram. Messages are also often lagging behind.
