iPhone
We don’t always have our cell phones right next to us, or even within earshot. So while audio notifications about new messages can be useful when our iPhone is nearby, they can be useless if the device is in another room. This can lead to situations where an alert about a new message goes unheard. If the time on your iPhone is blue, then read this guide to find out why and what you can do to change that. Fortunately, you can increase the likelihood that you hear a new message alert by increasing the number of times that the alert is repeated. The notification settings for messages on the iPhone allow you to select from several different frequencies at which that alert can be repeated. Our tutorial below will show you where to find the setting on your device that allows you to modify the number of times your new message alerts repeat. Note that you might be wondering why is there a moon next to my text if you aren’t receiving any of those iPhone text message notifications.
