Yes, I have different text tones for various groups of people. And yes, I think you are right, Jenn, in that if a string of messages is open, then you just get a blip rather than a ring tone when the person you are texting responds.
However, when I am using some apps, like Duo Lingo, it does seem that messages come in without a ring tone alert. Perhaps this is deliberate, in order not to interrupt, but I hadn’t noticed this happening before.

Have you set a particular tone for your texts in Settings, notifications? Just a thought.

This morning I was using the Duo Lingo app and when I came out of it, saw I had two texts messages, and yet I'd not been alerted. Also, when I responded to the text, my friend replied immediately, and although the Iphone made a blip noise, it didn't alert me with a ring tone. I'm wondering whether when I am using certain apps, the ring tone is suppressed and, if the message string is already open, then, again the ring tone is suppressed? Alison rting tone.
