iOS 14 text notification issues

Yeah, I appreciate the help, but that's what I did (just tried it again and am exactly matching your screenshots) and it's definitely not working still. I just hope 79 pages of messages about this will get Apple to fix it. Thanks for trying!

I too have tried all of the above. I "unclicked" everything, rebooted my phone then went back and put all settings back as described above (where they were in the first place!), rebooted my phone again and ...... still have the problem. I am using an iPhone 12 Pro...

Also having issues with messages not or late being delivered to another iPhone (11) running under iOS 14.4. iMessage seems to be very buggy since iOS 14 update and it’s getting worse from day to day. It’s not reliable at all that messages arrive even if displayed as sent.

I have the same problem. I think this is an Apple ID problem. If I take my phone and log out of my Apple ID, I start getting all my notifications. Log back into Apple ID, they stop. Reset all settings on the phone and the notifications work again until I connect my apple watch. Once I do that, it is back to the same loop.

The workaround I've been successful with is to turn Bluetooth off. Once I did that I've started to receive notifications on both my phone and my watch. Turn Bluetooth back on and all notifications stop on both of my devices. I've tried all the other suggestions and this is the one that worked for me. Maybe...it'll help someone else.

Since they don't monitor this discussion, I've reported the issue to Apple several times.

Facing the same issue. Didn't receive any notification (vibrate/sound) for text or call after updating the ios14. Will need to open the app to know if someone has texted me. All calls will turn to missed calls. Tried restarting my phone but nothing seems to work.

I recently stated to have this issue. My phone was working fine and then I noticed that I had messaged that I didn’t know I received. I turned off my phone and reset my networking setting and nothing. I don’t hear text tone sounds but my phone does vibrate. I get everything else with sound like : calls , notifications, etc. & yes , I do have the new update...

can someone please help me out here.

Not only is it the update it also is the 5G, 5G is new and it has issues. So I turned off my 5G and it’s helped! But there are still a few things that act up and that’s part of the update. I haven’t had any issues so far after turning off my 5G and my phones updated and I have the 12 pro max. Maybe try turning off the 5G to see if that’ll help some?

So this is going to sound crazy but my son’s iPhone 8 was not getting notifications of any kind for text messages for several months. After trying every solution I’ve found on this thread I was hopeless and ready to switch to android. Figured I’d try one more thing- Flooding apple support directly every day for a week.... and my emails either worked or it miraculously fixed itself because as of yesterday his notifications, sound and banner, are working fine. Moral of the story, email the crap out of apple support and keep your fingers crossed.

I have 2 identical phones (Xr) on 2 different apple IDs and both paired with an apple watch 3. Both were updated from IOS 13 to 14 at the same time; same for the all next IOS 14 updates.

One phone shows no problem at all, the second one is suffering with the notification problem. Some apps work OK now (WhatsApp), mail notification come in grouped 4 to 6 at a time, usually 15 mins or more after the last email was received.

No changes observed with the IOS 14 updates, I remember WhatApp was problematic initially, not sure if a WhatApp or IOS update is responsable for WhatApp working OK now.

Tried all proposed solutions here and other fora, except for turing off bluetooth and reset then setup iphone as new.

None of solutions solves the issue. Un-paring and erase the Apple watch, the pairing again, which took a lot of time solved nothing.

There doesn't seem to be much of a respons of Apple, on this which may have it ending up in the same bin with the OSX audio stutter with bluetooth problem: not getting resolved. Looking forward to Apple putting cars on our streets...

I am having the same problem, no text notifications. I’m looking into returning the device as this is a clear malfunction that has not been resolved in months... unbelievable we are talking about Apple here.

The workaround to this was mentioned earlier. This worked for me 100%.

Go to settings —> notifications.

Click on “Shows Previews” and choose “Always.” This means your locked iPhone will show notification previews before it’s unlocked. So, all you need to do is go to specific apps you don’t want this to happen with and change it to “When unlocked.” It takes a few minutes of changing settings, but this solved it for me instantly.

I have a 12 Pro Max, iOS 14.4, not getting text or Facebook notifications. If I’m listening to a podcast on Bluetooth, the volume cuts in half when a notification comes in but there’s still no alert sound, that’s new. I’ve tried all the “fixes” in this thread. I’ve never had so many issues with an Apple product. This phone performs no better than the 8+ I traded in in November.

I have had this issue since iOS 14 dropped. I honestly feel like I had it in iOS 13 as well, but that's maybe because this has been going on for such an incredibly long time.

I have tried everything. EVERYTHING. I have talked to Apple Support and been escalated to Engineering. First it was my iPhone 11's silent switch. Got a replacement phone. Issue persisted with new phone. So, then they thought it was a third-party bluetooth issue. Disconnected my bluetooth speaker, reset network settings, set up as new phone, restored from backup. Turned off bluetooth - Hey! That worked. But, like, I need to use bluetooth for my Apple watch and AirPods. Issue persists. Try turning on and off iMessages.

Finally signed out of iMessage, then turned it back on BUT I did not sign in to iMessage using my Apple ID, so I can only receive messages using my phone number, not my apple addresses. THIS WORKS! It has worked consistently for me for about a month now. I am receiving all notifications with sound on my Apple watch, AirPods, and iPhone depending on which I choose the notification to come through. The problem is, I would really like to be able to use iMessage on my phone so that I can continue my messages on my iMac, MacBook, and iPad. It is completely bananas that Apple has not addressed this issue in FOUR updates now.

It’s crazy! In my opinion, the new phone I just got in November is defective. This is a simple function yet they can’t get it to work properly? I’m about to become team Samsung and I feel like Apple’s so big now that they don’t care if their products don’t function.
