Frequently I fail to get a notification for a new text message. I do not have anyone deliberately "muted". It is random and affects all senders. It only happens when the phone is off. If I have messages open I get the notification. I'm using iOS version 16.4.1(a).
iPhone 12
Hey rtgrants,
We'd recommend checking to see if you have any Focus or Do Not Disturb settings enabled on your device as that could be blocking notifications.
You can check your Focus settings using the steps here: Use Focus on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
To check your Do Not Disturb settings, check out this link: Use Do Not Disturb with Focus on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Thanks!

Thanks, it worked. Although I didn't have any "Do not Disturb" on, I did have "Focus" on. Once I shut it off, it worked.
You're welcome rtgrants,
We're glad we could help! Feel free to reach back out if you have any further questions or issues with an Apple device or service.
Have an excellent day!
