iPhone 17 pro max, iPad Pro 13 m5. Issue I’m having, is whenever I get a text and I’m using the iPad, my phone won’t go off. The notification will be there on the lock screen, but there’s no audio alert. Ideally, I want notifications off on the iPad, since my phone is always next to me anyways, I don’t want to hear the alert tone twice. Anyone know of any way to solve this?
Got a tip for us?

It depends on what exactly you're doing when "using the iPad."
If you're in the Messages conversation, and a message comes into that conversation, then I'd expect the phone to suppress a notification (because, of course, you're sitting there looking at the message).
If you are in some other app - Safari or whatever - I would expect the phone to behave normally. I see no reason why having the iPad simply unlocked/awake (but not in Messages) would affect that.
You can, of course, turn Notifications off on your iPad. Settings > Notifications > Messages > Off
