Is the normal practice when hearing a strange noise on the phone to
swipe down in order to see notifications??

If so, somehow I never learned to do this. I rarely look to see if
there are notifications, because in the past i've gotten so few, but
today I'm getting a bunch.

I texted someone and I'm eagerly witing for an answer. I have the
screen off. Every once in a while, I hear a "click" and the screen
lights up, but there is no new text. I found that someone has posted on Signal, that I recently was "forced" to join. There is no other
notification if the screen is looking at Texts and not at the home page
with the Signal icon, right?
