No sound or phone wake on text messages

I get the notification, but there is no sound and the screen does not come on to show it.

I get it on my Apple watch.

If I turn off my watch, text notifications work fine on the phone.

If I turn off Bluetooth, still no notification on phone (no sound/wake).

Of course I power cycled iPhone AND watch.

iPhone 12 Pro Max (not listed in your device selection below!) AND you need to add a topic of any device problem, not just using. (I'm VERY disapointed at Apple for this lousy site design, especially when they even have a broken link on their front end that supposedly taking you here, nop!)

iOS 14.4.1 It was doing it in the previous iOS version too, it's why I decided to update, I was hoping it would fix it.


HELP!

Please read my question. Has nothing to do w/my watch. I know this stupid Apple site does not have the right selections and for some reason it chose FOR ME watch. But my question explains it.

Thank you for trying.


BTW, next day it started working again, I now receive notification sounds on my iPhone.
