I get all of my notifications on texts except for one person; my wife. Very bad. I’ve checked and changed the sound to her texts. I’ve checked “focus”. I’ve does all I can think of, but not only does it not make a sound, it doesn’t come up on screen. I could be holding the phone and not be aware that a text from her came in. Ideas? Was the latest update a bad one?
