Step 2: Scroll down and tap Messages.
Step 3: Tap Notifications.
Step 4: Turn on the switch next to Allow notifications. Also, enable notifications on Lock Screen, Notification Center, and Banners in the Alerts section.

This change will ensure you receive text notifications even when Focus Mode is active.

If you’ve added Messages in Scheduled Summary, you’ll only receive text notifications at set times. You can follow the steps below to remove Messages from your Scheduled Summary and start receiving real-time notifications.
Step 1: Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
Step 2: Tap Notifications.

Step 3: Tap Notifications.
Step 4: Turn on the switch next to ‘Time-sensitive notifications’ to enable the option.

Step 1: Open Messages in iPhone Settings.
Step 2: Turn on the ‘Notify me’ toggle.
From now on, whenever someone mentions you in Messages, you’ll get an instant notification.

Step 2: Scroll down and tap Phone.
Step 3: Tap Blocked Contacts.
Step 4: Swipe left on a contact and select Unblock.

Step 2: Scroll down and tap General.
