NO sound on text message from other iPhone users

My iPhone 13 receives sound notifications from anyone texting from an android phone. NO sound notification if text comes from an iPhone user. Have checked message notifications, reset sound to default, updated to latest OS, and restarted phone. Still nothing. Continue to receive sound notifications from android users.

Thank you for the reply dkiloran!


Since this only occurs with iPhone users, do you have an Apple Watch connected to your iPhone? We asked because "Notifications go to either your Apple Watch or iPhone, but not both. Learn when a notification might appear on your iPhone, instead of your Apple Watch, below." as mentioned in Notifications on your Apple Watch.


If the issue persists, let's make sure your device is up-to-date and if it is updated, restart your device:


Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Restart your iPhone


If you continue to see issues, please contact Apple directly to investigate:

Cheers!

Hey there dkiloran,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're not receiving sounds notifications from a specific contact. We're happy to provide some assistance.


Check out this helpful resource:


Change message notifications on iPhone


Specifically look under the "Mute notifications for a conversation" section to make sure this contact is not muted:


"1. In the Messages list, touch and hold a conversation.

2. Tap Hide Alerts."


We hope this helps.


Have a great day!
