No text notification sound

Am I the only one who has issues with my text notification sound not working. I keep trying everything and it’s still not vibrating or making a sound when I get a text. Frustrating.

Hi Heathisul,


At the time you receive a message, is there a Focus turned on? Use Focus on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support. If there is, have you added the Messages app to the Focus to allow it to sound? Go to Settings > Focus, select the Focus and see if Messages is listed under Apps. If it isn't, add it and test the issue.


If Focus wasn't the issue, let's check how Notifications for Messages is set up: Use notifications on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support Go to Settings > Notifications > Messages. Under "Alerts", have you selected where you're able to view the alerts? If not, select either Notification Center or Banners and see if you get a sound when you receive a message now.


If it's still not producing a sound, please reach out to Apple Support directly: Get Support


Take care!
