My phone is not alerting me when a new text is received. How do I set a text alert on my phone?

You can set a Text Tone here:

Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Text Tone


Also check if Hide Alerts have been activated for one or more of your SMS conversations. Look for a small "crossed out bell". out of the conversations. You deactivate Hide Alerts by swiping from left to right on the conversation in the overview and tapping the purple bell.
