Not receiving Message alerts for favorite contacts

I have 9 contacts that I send/receive most often on the left side of my Message screen that I just tap on to send a message. Since the update, I no longer get an alert that any of those 9 contacts sent me a message. Sometimes there is a little green dot on their name to show that they sent a message. Help!




iPad Air, iPadOS 18

Alerts will be paused if you have "Do Not Disturb" on.

Alerts for an individual can also be "hidden"

See how to: Change message notifications on iPad - Apple Support : you can check whether settings are on or off
