Since the iOS 16.5 update our iPhones are not notifying messages when locked

I have checked all the sounds settings. Nothing had been changed overnight, but after the 16.5 update ran last night I no longer am informed of texts when my phone is locked. I get informed on my watch, but no audio or vibration on the phone.

Hello King_Hercules!


Please check that the Silent Mode switch on the left side of your iPhone is off. It should show black, and not red.


Also, please go to: Settings > Focus and make sure there aren’t any Focuses on. You would see the word “On” next to a Focus of it were on.


Lastly, please Force Restart - Apple your iPhone, as that may fix this issue.


I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!
