No sound for incoming messages since IOS 16.1.2
My phone is all screwed up since IOS 16.1.2 upgraded. I have an iphone 12 pro max. Any suggestions on how to turn on sound for incoming messages? I already turned OFF Focus.

Hi nfreeflight,
Here's some information from the Change message notifications on iPhone resource that might be helpful:
"Manage notifications for messages
- Go to Settings
> Notifications > Messages. - Choose options, including the following:
- Turn Allow Notifications and immediate delivery for Time Sensitive Notifications on or off.
- Set the position, locations, style, and sounds for alerts.
- Choose when message previews should appear on the Lock Screen, and how they should be grouped.
- Set how many times to repeat an alert (from Never to 10 Times) below Customize Notifications.
See Change notification settings on iPhone."
We'd also recommend updating to iOS 16.2 when you can. You can learn how to do that here:
"Update your iPhone or iPad wirelessly
- Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.
- Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.
- Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.
- If you see more than one software update option available, choose the one that you want to install.
- Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now. If you don't know your passcode, learn what to do."
