Is there any way to make screen wake when you receive a text message? Without using the always on display

Google Messages
Tap profile icon
Messages Settings
Notifications
Show or hide content when locked: Default (show always)

This will show message content while the device is still locked, if the passcode or biometrics have not yet been entered.

To get the notification pop up to show when the screen is off, the pathway is:

Settings > Notifications > Notification Pop-up style > show brief pop ups even while screen is off> ON

Please note that this ONLY works with brief notifications and detailed will not behave in this way

Fully waking the screen when a notification received is not a native feature of One UI and requires a third party application such as Glimpse. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.nullgrad.glimpse

So with Google Messages, when you receive a text, it won't wake your screen? Then how do you know that you've received a message? And please don't tell me that you can't reply from notifications?
😂😂😂😂

Stop trying to mislead people. The screen not completely waking for notifications is an OS-level issue, not an app-specific one.

Thank you. Users familiar with Samsung devices should be well aware that edge lighting with a pop up is the default notification method and that the vast majority of notifications do not fully wake the screen.

I posed a question, indicating an inquiry rather than a declarative statement. You may open Google Chrome and enter "What does a question mark mean?" into the search bar for a comprehensive explanation. A concise explanation is also available in the attached file.

My mobile device automatically wakes up and displays messages without physical interaction, and it allows me to reply directly from the notification. Therefore, I was surprised that Google Messages does not offer this functionality, prompting my inquiry.
Please see the attached pictures. If Google Messages does indeed possess this capability, kindly provide a screenshot as confirmation.
I was unaware that posing questions could be misconstrued as misleading. This is a novel concept to me.

You also said

"And please don't tell me that you can't reply from notifications?
😂 😂 😂 😂"

Just because you placed a question mark at the end of your statement, doesn't make it a question. It's more like a directive.

I do not intend to be impolite, but any misunderstanding on your part is not my responsibility. This is a sincere inquiry, and I am still curious as to whether it possesses this particular feature.

Because of the inclusion of a laughing emoji, it indicates a humorous rather than serious intent on your part.

The absence of certain features in Google Messages, if confirmed, would be highly problematic. This would necessitate frequent manual checks for new messages, approximately every thirty minutes. Furthermore, the inability to utilize quick-reply functionality would require opening each message individually, potentially leading to communication delays. I am hopeful that clarification will be provided, confirming the availability of these features within Google Messages. This sentiment reflects a concern regarding the potential operational challenges should Google Messages be implemented for professional use.
So, "I'm laughing at my own misfortune" when the day comes that I have to use Google Messages on my work phone.

Every screenshot you just posted also occurs with Google Messages, lockscreen card (if cards are your thing, I prefer dots.) notification shade, detailed or brief pop-up, AOD icon. Quick reply is also available !
I have wake lockscreen turned off for notifications . I know what I am getting because the tone I give EVERTHING that is important!

That is correct, humorous, not an intended question. Move the goalposts if I have to is his MO!

Move the goalposts, redefine, misdirect, obfuscate. Whatever it takes, along with throwing out veiled insults so as to not be obviously reportable.

I I'd hate my phone waking for a message or notification. That would drive me crazy.

For privacy reasons, at work and in public, I don't want my phone to wake when anything happens, revealing my messages to anyone that might glance at my phone, and yet, I want to know when I receive an important text, therefore, my solution has been to change the notification sound for each important contact, which Google Messages allows. Making them a favorite contact in the Contact app allows me also to enable their message (and phone calls) to ring through even when my phone is on DND, allowing me to focus and/or not disturb those around me.
