Text message alert
I do not receive an alert sound on my phone when I get a text message. I am currently using an iPhone 13, but it also didn't work on my XR.
I checked all settings and they are on.

I've tried all of this and text message is the only sound notification I am not receiving. I can see the badge, and banner for a new text but no sound.
