No notification sound from specific contact on iPhone after iOS 26.0.1 update

For whatever reason after doing this latest update when my phone is locked and I receive a text from a specific contact there is no noise it just comes up and vibrates. I have tested other contacts and there text tone come through. I've googled it and tried everything recommended but nothing seems to work.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thank you!

One thing you can check. Open the text and then tap on the senders initial or photo at the top of the message. That will open the contact card. Scroll down to where it shows a series of switches. One of them is Hide Alerts. Make sure that one is turned Off. That can turn off the notification sound for individuals.

I'm sorry that did not help. Did you check to see if you had a custom text tone for that contact and it is possibly one that no longer exists? Can you try adding a custom text tone for that contact and see if that works? Go to the Contact's card, tap on Edit. Then scroll down slightly until you get to Text Tone. It may say Default, or something else you may have set. Tap on it, then choose one of the other tones to test.

Bunu birkaç kişinin daha deneyimlendiğine tanık oldum. Geçici çözümler uygulanabilir ama yeni yazılım güncellemesinde düzelecektir diye düşünüyorum.
