iPhone not informs about SMS or iMessage if display and sound is off

Hello! I recently came across a problem: my almost new iPhone 7 doesn't inform about arrived SMS in ANY way if asleep and sound turned off. Is this correct? Ever before it provided some vibration. Display light doesn't turn on

iPhone 7, iOS 11.1

Just did - nope. Furthermore, device sounds SMS or iMessage arrival 1/2 times when it really does even if sound is ON. One time SMS arrives and displayed correctly: display turnes on and vibes and sound, 10 seconds later another SMS arrives and iPhone remains absolutely silent as if nothing arrived.


Seems like software problem still. Cause announce on the lock screen about SMS is present
