iPhone 16 Pro, ios26.2

No audible notifications or alerts since iOS 26.2 update this morning. Notifications do show up on lock screen.

Checked all the usual settings for sounds, notifications, focus, and the action button. Performed hard restart. No luck. Anyone else?

I did get a haptic notification on my series 11 watch. I did not update iPad or Mac Mini yet.

Check this, first.

Then please check the following.

Notification Preview when Screen is Locked, Notification Alerts, Notification OFF, and much more...

To get Notifications when the Screen is locked see the pic below which is self-explanatory
To turn ON notifications selectively for apps, go to Settings > Notifications > Scroll Down to the App and turn ON notifications... Change notification settings on iPhone - Apple Support (IN)
Some apps have their own notification settings over and above the iOS notification settings: An example of Instagram Notification settings is given below
Help for Notification Alerts --> No Notification Alerts - Apple Community
