No text alerts/soundsiPhone 13 Pro/ 12. Is there a reason why texts messages sometimes do not give me an alert? This happens with my iPhone 13 Pro & my husband’s iPhone 12! It has caused me in many instances of missing important messages.

No notifications on receiving texts from one particular contact on iPhone 12 Pro iPhone 12 Pro running iOS 18.5. I no longer get any sound from my iPhone when I receive text messages from my wife, who is also my emergency contact. I have read previous threads from users who have the same problem, and none of the suggested solutions work, ever. Is there a genuine fix for this?
