No sound alert for incoming texts

Hello rweis1d,

Let's use the steps below to see if there is a custom text tone set for your contacts:

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.

3. Tap Ringtone or Text Tone, then choose a new sound.

You can also find those steps in this resource: Use tones and ringtones with your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support That should help further rule out a custom or specific text tone as a contributing factor.

If you have a specific text tone set for your contacts, does that persist if you remove it?

How about if you set a specific text tone for a contact that sends you messages on a regular basis?

Let us know, and we'll keep moving forward based on your results.
