That still happens in iOS. My guess is that you're getting multiple notifications, and they are being grouped together. Double tapping this group expands it, letting you see each message notification, but not taking you to Messages. If you have a single message, tapping it will do what you expect.
You can either expand the group, then choose a message and tap it, or you can open your notifications settings and disable grouping if you really don't like it. Again, though, if you have a single message and tap it, you should go straight to the Messages app. -- Alex Hall > On Sep 29, 2018, at 17:26, Lorie McCloud <lorice...@gmail.com> wrote: > > when I was using my 5-s running the last iteration of IOS 10, if I got a text > message I could tap on it and messages would open and I'd be right on that > person's message. that doesn't happen now with my new phone and IOS 12. is > there some setting I need to change or has that feature gone away? > > thanks. > Lorie > My Youtube Channel: > "www.youtube.com/loriemccloud > > -- > The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries > list. > > If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if > you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or > moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself. > > Your Mac Visionaries list moderator is Mark Taylor.
