Need sms notifications

Greetings, I'm using Android15 on a Pixel 6 smartphone with Google Messages app. How do I enable sms text messaging notifications for Google Messages app, please?

The Settings->Notifications has "Google Play Services" and "Messages" enabled, but the lack of notifications is causing me some trouble.

Thank you.

if you do a settings search by searching for "messages" . but none of them really has to do with notifications.

so you are saying that some messages are not showing up in notifications? are these texts from other android users? or from apple users? or both? are they random? or are they from specific senders? do you have any spam or call blockers installed?

All text messages are received, but none of them generate a notification. I verified this today via a phone call to a friend and asked him to send me a simple SMS message, which he did. There was no notification that it was received.
 
In the messages app go to app/settings (upper right, your avatar) and select 'notifications'. Make sure 'all default settings' is checked. Under that make sure 'incoming messages' is checked then select/click it. Make sure 'show notifications' is selected and set a sound, vibration etc. from there.
Google's getting really good at hiding stuff...
