Google will do even RCS messaging

If I press the three dots, it says Advanced Settings.
Then the Messaging app shows up, but still has the sound greyed out.

What if you tap New Message there -- does it only give you choices for High, Medium, and Low priority?

In Messaging or Messages?

This looks like a default texting app (my LG's default is a green icon, but I think this will apply almost universally). Are you using another app by default for texts? I.e. I use Verizon Messages+ instead, Textra is popular, and I think Facebook Messenger (which I see in your app list) can handle texts and MMS. You can only have one app for texting at a time, and activating another will disable the current one. If you have another app for texts, this one is pseudo disabled, which I'm guessing turns off the notification settings because there's no use for them.

If you are having a notification problem, you should look at the settings of the texting app you actively use. I saw in one of the replies that you are using Google Messenger. I've never looked at out, but my guess is this is the app handling your texts, so that's where I would look for settings.

No.

Messaging.

I was not using Google Messenger before.

What are you using for texts now?

What app are you wanting to use (if different)?

I switched to Google Messages.

I switched to Google Messages.

Then you need to adjust your settings for notifications in the Google Messages app, not the default LG messages app.

 

[ChiefDog]

Yes. My problem was in LG Messaging, not Google Messages.

 

[Mooncatt]

Yes. My problem was in LG Messaging, not Google Messages.

Then I'm confused. If using Google Messages, LG Messaging should not be in use and not giving notification to begin with. Are you still having a problem, or was it fixed?

 

[ChiefDog]

I was using LG Messaging. The sound notification was greyed out. When nothing fixed it, I switched to Google Messages.
