Text notification sound not working on iPhone after update

All of the notification settings are set for a sound notification. All are working except when a text message comes in. I’ve looked at YouTube but didn’t find a solution. This seem to haven started after the automatic iOS update to 17.3.1.

It’s doing it with iOS 17.4 also. Go to your actual messages app in settings and make sure the notifications are on, mine was not and this fixed the problem. It’s a shame a trillion dollar company can get stuff so horribly wrong. They also removed certain sounds from the lists in settings and have made the sounds quieter. I and a lot of others are not happy with these issues, being that we are all missing very important texts. I for one am finally coming to the conclusion that it may be time to switch to a better phone company I.E. Samsung because apple is constantly dropping the ball.
