iPhone - Meta/Facebook Messenger incoming Call no notification!! FIXED!

For awhile now, I have not been getting Meta/Facebook call notifications. When someone attempts to video call me using Messenger, instead of ringing or notifying me, I would just immediately see the following notification: "You've missed a video chat with ___."


This was driving me nuts. I came across the following help topic with a response of 'check which notifications INSIDE the app are on/off' here: iPhone Messenger incoming Call no notific… - Apple Community


The Fix:

Open Meta / Facebook Messenger -> Hamburger menu -> Settings (the little gear icon in the top-right [also poorly placed]) -> Notifications & sounds ... scroll to the bottom under Sounds and vibrations and you'll see a toggle labeled While using app. Turn it to OFF as it should be labeled something more like: "LIMIT Sounds and vibrations to in-app usage".


After setting the toggle to OFF, I started getting incoming call notifications once again.


Reason for posting this is I felt it might help someone else as the wording for that setting was incredibly poorly thought out.
