iMessage flakiness: message not appearing

for last 2 days i've noticed when in imessage conversation, when new message comes in, there alert buzz doesn't show on conversation screen. going main message screen, new message shows up. not working week ago. else noticed this?

 

try hard reset - fixes lot of weirdness, when unusual shows suddenly...

press/hole power , home buttons @ same time until white apple shows (ignore else may show on screen), let go.

see if helps. if not, suspicious of added apps. not play nice ios and/or other apps. delete added apps 1 @ time , see if problem goes away.
