Google Message does not wake the screen when notification received

[LTHUSSER]

Now that Google message has been shoved down our throats. I just recently switched to this as my primary text message app from Samsung. How do i get it to wake up my screen like Samsung when I get a text notification? Help....

Should still be same with notification sound etc

[LTHUSSER]

It's not. This app never light up the screen. I used it before. Does your light up when you receive a notification?

[meself]

On my phone it's the same get same sounds and notification bar popping up at top as with Samsung messages don't think I ever seen it light up the whole screen with a notification

[LTHUSSER]

I get everything you mentioned. I was asking is there a way to get this app to light up my screen when the phone is down like the Samsung does.

That I don't know

I don't think you can, unless I never found the setting to let you do that. I have an s24 plus and it never had the screen wake up with Google messages. Maybe the closest thing you can do is have always on display turn on with new messages.
