No sound notifications for texts on iPhone 12

Ok so I thought this was my watch having issues with notifications but come to find out I'm not getting any text sound notifications from my phone. I have the watch turned off, and when a text come sin nothing happens. I hear it come form my ipad as usual. I touch the phone it;s there but no sound when it's locked. Unlocked they come through fine but not locked. Is there a place I;m issing maybe that got turned off besides in messages and notifications? Any other notification Ring or ebay comes through fine even phone calls just messages. It's kinda confusing

I am having the same problems. No ring or vibrate for calls or texts. I have checked all the settings you listed here for both the watch and phone. I have turned off the focus feature and my friends are still getting the message from focus showing that I’m not accepting messages at this time. I haven’t gotten a text notification or phone call tone since this awful update was added. How do I fix this?
