The "No text alerts when iPhone locked" issue
After a few frustrating days with our new 15 Pros, I have narrowed the issue down to something very specific: when a new text comes in and the phone is locked, if ANY other device capable of displaying a text (iPad, Mac, Apple watch) is opened up, the verbal text alert and vibration does NOT happen on the locked phone. This is especially a problem with the Apple watch, because that grabs the alert all the time and the locked phone never dings.
Anyone found a fix for this? I've read a dozen other threads on this issue, and all of the standard messages settings are fine. Again, it's not that the alert never happens: it's that it doesn't happen in this very specific circumstance. When the watch is powered down and no other devices are open, the alerts comes to the phone as normal.
Thanks
