Hi Sharon Yes you can definitely do this. Mine alerts me on the locked screen, and I think this is turned on by default in Settings and Notifications. Also check in Settings and Messages. Finally, get your friend to check her phone is not muted. I realise this is probably stating the obvious! (smile).

Is it possible to have any notifications such as an unread text message show on an IPhone 6, before the phone is unlocked. I can do this on my 4S, but can't seem to be able to help out my friend with hers. If she receives a text and doesn't hear it, she's no idea she has received one, whereas mine sit on the locked screen so when I turn the phone off standby they show up. Hope someone can help me with this. Thanks. Sharon
