I'm not sure if this is related to a recent software update, but every time I get a text message, it unlocks my screen. I've always had message notifications set to pop up a detailed preview of the received message, but it does not unlock the screen, and it goes back to sleep in 1-2 seconds. Text messages unlocking the screen entirely, though, does not seem to be a notifications setting, or a problem for other users according to a google search. Is it time for me to get a new phone?
If your tag is correct and you're using a Samsung Galaxy S21, I would have upgraded a long time ago. If the operating system on a device is no longer supported, it's a clear indicator to upgrade. If you stick to the Samsung ecosystem, I'd recommend the S24 series. You get far more customisation over how your notifications work, including the ability to schedule when they are allowed or not.
I found that setting and messages was toggled on (how? I don't know). I toggled it off, but that didn't fix the issue. I reset the phone, checked to make sure it was still toggled off, and new messages are still turning the screen on. š
And you say it is for your messages app by Google? I would also look in the each disruptive app as to see if they have their own rules for waking up phone.
Turned off Lock Screen Notifications and that worked. But now I won't be able to see new messages pop up for a second or two. Oh well, better than the alternative! Thank you!
