On my iPhone 12 Plus I used to get a notification that a contact was text messaging me. Now, I don't know unless I open the message app

Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities kirkpat,

If you aren't being notified of your messages as expected, the first thing we suggest is verifying that notifications are enabled for the Messages app, and were not inadvertently disabled. If they have been disabled, you won't get a visible notification: Use notifications on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Should you still need some help after that, don't hesitate to respond back.

Cheers!
