iPhone 6s won’t alert 🚨 me of new messages

So I’ve gotten a IPhone 6s (Hand me down) for some reason it will not alert 🚨 me of text messages that I receive.

mad shown within the photos:

  • All notification text message settings are on.
  • My sound and ring is to the maximum level.
  • The DO NOT DISTURB setting is turnt off

Ive tried googling to find some answers but can’t find anything which has resulted in me coming here.

iPhone 6s, iOS 13
