No sound on text messages being received when iphone screen is locked I'm running IOS 16.1 and I'm not hearing any sounds when a text message is received if my screen is locked. My connected apple watch is working fine. There are no messages (banners) coming to the locked screen either.

No.

If paired iPhone is ON, then sound is on iPhone.

If iPhone is Off (sleep), then sound is on Watch.
