Greetings, LBTodd.
I see that you're not receiving Notifications for the Messages application on your iPhone 8 Plus. I'm happy to help.
Use notifications on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you don't see notifications for a specific app
To get notifications, connect to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. If you don't get notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
- Make sure that the app supports notifications. Go to Settings > Notifications, select the app, and make sure that Notifications are turned on.
- If you have notifications turned on for an app but you're not receiving alerts, you might have Banners turned off. Go to Settings > Notifications, turn on Show as Banners and choose a type of banner that you want to see.
- Make sure that you’re signed in to your Apple ID. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores and enter your Apple ID and password.
- Make sure that Do Not Disturb is turned off. Go to Settings > Do Not Disturb and turn it off. Or swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center and tap
.
- If you’ve recently installed an app or restored from a backup, open the app to start getting notifications.
Let me know how that goes.
Take care!
