iOS 14 text notification issues

Since the update I’ve had issues with not receiving notifications on text messages, not every time but often enough for it to be a problem. I go into a message thread and there are messages that it’s said I’ve read and I had no idea they were there.

iPhone XS Max, iOS 14

Hello,

See these steps:

1) Check the silent button above the volume buttons.  Do you see red?  If so, move the slider.

2) Is Do Not Disturb on?  Go to Settings > Do Not Disturb.  Is it turned on?  Check the times.

3) Go to Settings > Notifications > Messages.  It is turned on?

4) Go to Settings > Sound & Haptics.  Change the "Text Tone" to a different sound.  Does it make a sound?

Note: you can send text messages to yourself for testing purposes.

Good luck.
