Notifications muted when iPhone asleep

My iPhone SE on iOS 15.6 was not giving visible, audible, or vibration notifications when the phone was asleep. I checked and re-checked all possible notification settings. Then I found this solution on the Apple Developers forum which magically fixed it:

“Settings -> Sounds and Haptics
Drag the “Ringers and Alerts” volume slider to minimum, then drag it to maximum, then back to your desired volume.

That's it; the volumes of notifications are now well-matched to the ringer volume.”

This seems to be an Apple bug, and an unusual workaround. I hope posting this saves someone from the same frustration I had. ✌️

Settings > Notifications > [Select the App that you are having trouble receiving immediate notifications]

See the pic below for a few examples. Please select immediate delivery.

Thanks for your detailed and potentially helpful reply. Scheduled Summary was not enabled on my phone for any apps, and the solution I showed in my original post fixed the issue. Thanks for your concern and willingness to assist.

You can allow access to Notification Center on the Lock Screen. Go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode (on an iPhone with Face ID) or Touch ID & Passcode (on other iPhone models). Enter your passcode. Scroll down and turn on Notification Center (below Allow Access When Locked).

Go to Settings and tap Notifications. Select an app under Notification Style. Under Alerts, choose the alert style that you want. If you turn on Allow Notifications, choose when you want the notifications delivered — immediately or in the scheduled notification summary.
