Messages Won't Show on Lock Screen
I'm using an iPhone 13 pro max. My incoming messages never show up on the lock screen. I feel like I have changed every setting so they will show. HELP!

Hi meryl245,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You may have tried this already but since you've mentioned Lock Screen notifications, we'd recommend starting with the guidance from Change message notifications on iPhone - Apple Support.
"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."
Also, make sure that Focus is not enabled on your iPhone or any other devices since that will impact whether notifications are delivered. You can check that from Settings > Focus. Check out Set up a Focus on iPhone for full details.
All the best.
