Since I received my iPhone 7 (iOS 10), I can no longer view incoming text messages or alerts on the home screen while on an active call. Instead my screen just lights come when I receive something, but I have to pull down my notification center to view what is was. Is there a setting I need to adjust so I can view this again?

This didn't work. I had the same issue on my iPhone 6, when i first upgraded to iOS 10. I have friends having a similar issue as well, so I wonder if it's an OS issue vs device.
Were you able to solve this? I have the same problem as well and it is highly annoying.
Thanks
I already had 'Show on Lock Screen' turned on, but restarting my phone seemed to help. Thank you!
Well at least here is a work around until fixed (or maybe this is by design), if you swipe down from the top the notifications will be displayed in the recent list.
Also another annoyance that I found the answer too that I thought I would pass along. When on an active call and you need to get to the phone controls, mute, speaker, etc, you have to tap the displayed name or phone number then it will display. I take it this was necessary due to the new swipe sideways lock screen menus.
Thanks,

I take that back - I was just on an active call and while on the lock screen, I received two text messages that simply lit my screen but did not display.
No, still unable to resolve. It's extremely annoying and am pretty sure it's a iOS 10 "update".
