One week old Pixel 4a 5G and this is driving me nuts. All I want is to have the sound notification keep repeating every few minutes until I actually open the text. I've had this on every phone for years, and I'm shocked and annoyed that Google might have left it off the stock message app?????

1. Am I missing the way to set this up on my phone?

2. Is there an app that can fix this? I've tried Repeat Alerts Plus and Missed Notifications apps, but neither seemed to work.

3. If either of those aren't possible, I guess I'll have to download a different text app and replace the stock app. Which one would you suggest (and I don't mind paying something reasonable for one that fixes this problem)

thank you!

Ok. That isn't a feature I have ever used. Never seen a setting for it in Google Messages app. Have you tried Textra? That seems to be a texting app that people like to use. It does have a lot of customisation, but I don't know if that is a feature of it.

Hi, welcome to AC!
