Text notification tone SE 2020

I have discovered that the notification sound for incoming texts is not working for certain people. Most texts have sound but I have at least one contact whose texts I miss because there is no text sound. How can I fix this?

iPhone SE, iOS 12

ios 16.1.1 not allowing text messages alerts After updating my iPhone 12 to iOS 16.1.1 I no longer get notification alerts for my text messages. The text message comes through and the notification shows on screen, but no tone is heard. I have enabled the correct buttons under notifications and the volume is okay. I can manually sound the tone, so it not that. Anyone else having this problem?

Message sound notification on I-phone XR I have read through the previous questions, all of the sound notifications are turned on, and I still only get sound notifications sporadically. The sounds always seem to go off when I am in holding the phone, or sometimes when replies are being sent to me, but not when I am a little farther away. I have missed many messages in a timely fashion because my phone doesn’t go off. The last trick I tried just a few minutes ago was to turn the lock sound off, but don’t know if that will help yet.

Go to the message thread from that person. Tap on their name at the top of the text, then Info. Check to see if Hide Alerts is turned on.
