I have an S25 Ultra. When my wife texts me, I do not get a notification sound when I get a text from her but I get a notification sound when someone else sends me a text. Does this happen to anyone else?

I have this same problem and my wife takes it personally when I miss her texts. Very frustrating.

Hello BigRick1313, welcome to the Samsung Community! I understand your concerns about your device not sending text message notification sound from your wife's contact. What messaging app are you using?

Clear the cache in your messaging app and then check to verify that you don't have her contact set to silent: Conversation, Contact name, Notifications, check to make sure it is not silent

You can try selecting a specific notification sound for her contact: click on the conversation, click the menu (3 dots in corner), tap details, Notifications, Sound and select a sound that you like

Delete her contact and re add 

Reset your mobile network settings: Settings, General Management, Reset mobile network settings and review the information before tapping reset to confirm

Please let me know if the troubleshooting steps helped or not
