Not getting the text tone from one of my contacts. Just receiving the text

Good afternoon BobT.47,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

It sounds like you are not receiving text notifications on your iPhone 7 for one of your contacts, and we'd like to help.

Are you receiving text notifications for the rest of your contacts?

How long has this been going on?

If you have not already done so, please update your iPhone to iOS 15.2.1

Confirm that this individual has not been blocked on your iPhone 7.

Block phone numbers, contacts, and emails on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Are you using the same tone for all of the text notifications you receive?

Try changing the text tone for this individual to something more specific, restart your iPhone, and ask them to send you a message to test.

The resources below will provide some guidance:

1. Open the Contacts app and tap a person's name.
2. In the upper-right corner of the person's contact card, tap Edit.

If the issue persists, please reply to this thread and we'll do our best to help you!

Take care.
