Google Voice text notifications stopped working on iPhone SE (iOS 16.2)

I've used GV for a long time, and earlier this year the text notifications stopped working on my iPhone.

It does ring for GV incoming phone calls
I see the number of unread messages (# in red circle) on the home screen
I used to receive notifications, but didn't notice exactly when they stopped (so don't know if it's related to an iOS upgrade, for example)
I've uninstalled and reinstalled GV

Any other ideas?

Greetings DebStuli,

If you have an app, like Google Voice, that is not responding as expected, these are the best steps to take:

Close and open the app.
Restart you device.
Check for updates.
Delete and download app

You can find more specific steps here: If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open

If the issue continues, contact Google for support: https://about.google/contact-google/

We hope this helps!

Sincerely.

The iOS 16.4 upgrade seems to have fixed it ... I'm getting notifications again. Phew! Thought I was going to have to abandon GV.
