Text notification not silent when unlocked

When my iPhone XS is set on silent, I am still getting sound notifications for incoming text messages when the screen is unlocked. They’re silent when the screen is locked. It’s rather annoying. Any suggestions on silencing them all around? Thanks!

iPhone XS, iOS 12
