Why can’t I hear when a droid phone sends me a text message anymore?

Why can’t I hear a ringtone when a droid phone texts my iPhone anymore? I am only able to hear when another iPhone person texts me. Why is this?

iPhone 12, iOS 15

mmm ... seems you may need to add or change a setting someplace.

iPhone can only act as set.


Seems messages to and from Android phones use cellular data (green bubbles),

while Apple to Apple messages come and go using wi-fi (blue bubbles).


To manage notifications for messages:

Change message notifications on iPhone – Apple Support


Different ringtones may (or may not) be set for different people in your Contacts.
