iOS 11.1/11/10 Notifications Not Working on iPhone and iPad

"I just updated to iOS 11 today and now suddenly my notifications for texts are not coming through. Previously, my text messages would cause my phone to vibrate and light up the home screen, where I could read the message. Now, I am not getting a vibration notifcation, nor is my screen lighting up. None of my settings have changed. Can anyone help?"
