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

I was wondering do anyone knows what the 2 blue checks are when you send a text message

It means the recipient is also using RCS in Google messages and if the two circles are blue, the message was read. If they are not, the message has been delivered but has not been read yet.
