Ever noticed your iPhone buzzing again a couple of minutes after a message has come in? That’s the Repeat Alerts option for the Messages app doing its work.
By default, your iPhone notifies you twice of any new message received in the Messages app. Once when the message is first received, then again two minutes after that.
If you think repeated alerts are too much, or if you want the alert to repeat more than once at two-minute intervals, you can tweak the settings.
How to Change Repeat Alerts Settings for iOS Messages App
