Can't hear when txt notifications while listening to music

Whenever I have my headphones on, I never get a ping saying I have a new txt message and wind up missing it. It's kind of annoying.


Anyways, FWIW, I always have my phone on vibrate but usually don't even get a vibration

Hello Tecumseh,


If you are not getting any alerts or at least a vibrate when you are listening to your music and the silent switch is on, then check to see if you have Do Not Disturbed turned on as that will prevent you from receiving any notification while that is turned on. Take a look at the article below for more information.


Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
