Receiving all notifications except for text messages?

My phones notifies me when notifications come thru for, email, social media , everything but text message notifications. I have double checked to make sure notifications are turned on..has anyone had this problem, or have any salutions.

Are you using Google messages or Samsung messages

Google messages

Have you made sure notification categories are turned on? Settings/notifications/advanced settings/manage notification categories for each app.  Then go to the app settings for whichever messaging app you are using, tap on notifications, make sure "allow sound and vibration is on", tap on notification categories and make sure the sliders are on for new messages or incoming messages, tap the text and choose a sound. Make sure "alert" is enabled. Also, make sure (if you want it) that you have "pop-up allowed".

OMG !!! That worked 🙏 you may not understand how annoying it is to look at your phone and see 5-10 messages some important..I been to busy to go to a shop so I have been just dealing with it for 1-1/2 month now. Bravo 👏 God bless you. Thanks again

I checked and rechecked everything in your post and still I have the crossed out bell (silence) icon on every text message. Not sure what else to do.

I just use Google messages. And not Samsung messages because the Notification don't work.
