If your iPhone isn't alerting you when you receive a text from an Android, the issue might be with your notification settings. To fix this, go to Settings > Notifications > Messages and ensure that the Allow Notifications toggle is on. Additionally, check the Do Not Disturb mode and ensure that it's not enabled, as this can prevent alerts from being shown. It's also a good idea to verify that the specific contact isn't muted in your messages app.
