Unable to get message notifications on my iPhone 16 Lock Screen

I have everything set as it should. But I will never get message notifications on my Lock Screen. This is an IPhone 16.

I checked the do not disturb , I set the notifications to allow on Lock Screen. I updated the phone. I can hear it but nothing shows up.

Notification Preview when Screen is Locked, Notification Alerts, Notification OFF, and much more...


  1. To get Notifications when the Screen is locked see the pic below which is self-explanatory
  2. To turn ON notifications selectively for apps, go to Settings > Notifications > Scroll Down to the App and turn ON notifications... Change notification settings on iPhone - Apple Support (IN)
  3. Some apps have their own notification settings over and above the iOS notification settings: An example of Instagram Notification settings is given below
  4. Help for Notification Alerts --> No Notification Alerts - Apple Community

What if the app is not available in the list of apps on the notification settings to modify notification style? I checked the actual app settings and there are no options there either. This worked on my iphone 14 but on my new 16 pro max it does not. On latest ios 18.2.1. I tried to reset settings and reset location & privacy and nothing helped. See pictures attached. The app is Surepass ID Authenticator - I have multiple authenticator apps FYI.
