Facebook notification sound missing

Always good to see Apple themselves in here and helping out....oh wait....nope, that's them sat on the fence with their fingers crossed again isn't it!

The forum is User to User. The only people in here are end users, like you. No one from Apple reads this forum, at least not in an official capacity.

Mine has been doing this for about 3 weeks now. It is so frustrating since I communicate with my out of country friends via facebook and I don't get to hear when they reply to my posts or pm's. Grrrrrrr

This is seriously pathetic. This issue has been going on for a while now and no help.

I've got the 4S and same issue. We have been given many Facebook updates since the

Issue and still nothing. I wonder if anyone cares. Doesn't seem like it.

mines doing the same i had an iphone 4 running on ios 6.1.1 and the sound just went and i recently got an iphone 5 and i thought it might of been my iphone 4 but its not working on my 5 either anyone got any suggestions what it could be?

Iphone 5 iOS 6.0.2 Same problem, notifications turns on the screen on facebook and path (in my case) but there is no sound, I thought it was related to do not disturb issue on january 1st but you all guys have this problem before that I do remember this notificatios were working fine. my first Iphone, bad mistake. Hope Apple fix it soon.

I have been having the problem since the new ios 6 update unfortunately resetting the phone uninstalling or installing the the app has not worked. I have no sound from Facebook or Instgram notification only top bar notification and LED light flashes same happend on IPhone 4 and now on the IPhone which i received 3 days ago

My work around soultion is this turn on Email Notification via your laptop or PC and use an email account you can setup using Exchange something like Gmail and have your facebook notifications sent via email, I know it is pain to delete the emails if you get a lot of notification but atleast you will not miss any.

In the mean time let hope facebook actually care about its users and fix the issue

Mine has not worked since september. they used to have a support forum on facebook with a huge thread about it. but facebook deleted it. such a bummer. I miss important facebook things due to this. However I do heard sounds for messages I get to the facebook app (not the messages app, i dont have that).

I have submitted things countless times to their support and hear nothing back.

I just got my iPhone 5 on Jan 20th and the notification sound for Facebook is not functioning. I do get the banner, and there is a little number in a red circle in the upper right corner of the Facebook icon on the home screen, but that's it.

How do you get the LED light to flash, please?

Another oddity - for the past two days, when I received a new email, it would play a sound, but NOT the sound I selected! Finally, I turned off the sound for email notifications, but it STILL kept playing the "Bloom" sound that I never asked for. I think it has finally fixed itself but that was really weird.

It sounds as if there is nothing we can do about the FB notification sound but watch and wait. Oh well. I am still enjoying my new phone.

I will try updating to iOS 6.1 once I get home and can be connected to my WiFi (I can't do that here at work). I hope that solves the Facebook notification sound issue.

In the past week I have finally learned that there is no flashing light to let you know you have an incoming communication, unlike, say, a BlackBerry has. That's fine - as long as I know there is no such function, then my phone is working beautifully.

I am pretty sure its not an iphone OS thing or a facebook app thing. I think its a database issue on the facebook side that affected certain accounts. All the people it affects doesnt matter what device they are on. Us users suffering this may never get a fix unless we deleted our facebook accounts and signed up again. That is what I am thinking.

Don´t give up, you most update facebook app too, there is a new update. I have noticed Twitter notifications are working fine too. The only app I still don´t know is Path but I use it few times a week. So reboot the Iphone after both upgrades iOS and Facebook.

There is an option under Settings, tap on General, then tap on Accessibility. Scroll down, and you’ll see an option for LED Flash for Alerts. Turn this on, and all new phone calls and other alerts will trigger the LED on the back of the iPhone.

Mine hasn't made a sound since I got the phone in October. I have checked all the setting for sound in general notifications and in the app and all signs point to go. I also update to latest iOS and then uninstalled and reinstalled Facebook then did a hard restart and still no.. This is highly frustrating. Never had this problem with my 3GS... Hope we get a solution.

Same here, I've had this problem from day 1 with my iPhone 5. Can't understand why they can't fix this is 2 minutes, it's such a simple yet essential part of having a smartphone! Come on FB or Apple! 😠 At least my old BlackBerry gave me an alert when I asked for one.

It's a joke. I need my Facebook notification sounds because some people posting on my work page experience mental illness and I need to respond immediately. I don't think they care - posts about this date back to 2010.
