Notifications for texts

my phone doesn’t notify me when I get a text message. I’ve reset it but it still doesn’t work. How do I get it to work?

Hey ws31hm,


First, we'd recommend checking you notification settings to ensure everything is set up as expected there: Change notification settings on iPhone - Apple Support


If everything looks good there, we'd recommend checking to see if you have any Do Not Disturb or Focus settings enabled that could be preventing your notifications form showing.


You can find info on checking your Focus settings here: Use Focus on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


You can find more info on Do Not Disturb settings here: Use Do Not Disturb with Focus on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Thanks!
