How to get phone to chime with text message

Since I got my Apple Watch 7, my phone does not ding when I get a text message and my phone is asleep. It does ding when I get a text message and my phone is awake. I want it to ding all the time on my phone and not on my watch.

iPhone 13, iOS 15

Your Apple Watch and your iPhone is working as designed. Your Apple Watch will get a text notification when your iPhone is locked. You will not get a sound notification on both devices. I understand that you would like this behavior to change where you only want your text notifications on your iPhone and not on your Apple Watch.

On your iPhone, open the Watch app ➔ Notifications ➔ Messages ➔ Custom ➔ Choose, Notifications OFF. This will stop all your Messags notification to sound from your Apple Watch and will only be notificed on your iPhone.
