iMessages

This has been happening to me often but when I'm messaging someone and they respond in the next 2-3 minutes, I don't get a notification for their text and when I go into iMessages, it shows that I've already read the message (no blue circle). It's not a notification on/off problem because I still get notifications. It's only when someone replies to me soon after I text them. It's kinda inconvenient because I have to go in and check if they've replied and it sometimes prevents me from replying right away since it's marked as read and I don't get a notification. Any solutions?

This gives me an indication that Do Not Disturb is on. (May be)


If you don't see notifications for a Messages


To get notifications, connect to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. If you still don't get notifications for a specific app, try these steps:

  1. Go to Settings > Notifications, select Messages, and make sure that Allow Notifications is on.
  2. If you have notifications turned on you might not have Banners selected. Go to Settings > Notifications, select the messages, then select Banners.
  3. Make sure that you’re signed in to your Apple ID
  4. Make sure that Do Not Disturb is off


To manage your notifications from the Lock screen or Notification Center:

  1. Swipe left over an alert or group of alerts.
    • Tap Manage, then select from these options: Deliver Quietly: These notifications appear in the Notification Center, but don't show up on the Lock screen, play sounds, or show a banner or badge icon.
    • Turn Off: This turns off all notifications for a specific app. To turn this back on, go to Settings > Notifications, select the app, and tap Allow Notifications. 

You can also tap Settings to change your alert styles or alert settings for a specific app.
