When inside the chat itself, there is no notification sound for incoming messages. The messages just show visually, with no audio.

But when outside of the chat, or not in the messages app, the sounds occur when messages come in.

This was the case on multiple Samsung phones, and with multiple different messages apps for SMS/MMS/RCS.

Is there a way to solve this? Couldn’t find any solutions after researching

    No way I know of. Hit your power button and turn the phone off when you look away.

    Pretty much all apps work as you describe.

      Thanks, but how silly is that!. I only noticed it recently but the idea is bugging me. It feels like I have to close the chat as soon as I look away from it. I don’t need that kind of “stress”.

        Also, wet hands, texting someone while im in the shower. Leave the phone on the table after just managing to compose and send a text and cant click out of the chat or turn off the screen. No bueno
