My iMessage notifications do not show up

How do I fix my iMessage notifications, because I have them turned on, and I have all of the banners/sounds/alerts on, but the don’t ever show up in the Notification Center or on my lock screen. However, a number does show up to the top right of my app. I’m using an IPhone 6, IOS 12

Incorrect badge notifications on messages I’ve read all my messages in my iPhone 13, yet have a persistent red badge indicator that I still have 13 unread messages. I’ve updated ios, turned off notifications, restarted the phone & then turned notifications back on - still those 13 phantom unread text messages☹️

No notification sound/alert for Messages Running IOS 16.2 here on iPhone 14 Plus. If the screen is off, I am not getting any messages notification sounds/alerts. The messages do show up in notification center and lock screen but with my screen off, I have missed a ton of SMS and iMessage ones because my phone did not ring and also my Apple Watch did not notify me, so same behaviour on Apple Watch. I did file a report on bug report but curious if anyone has had this. I remember on the previous iOS 16 there were no issues like this.

Hello Leololo,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that you aren't seeing banner notifications for the Messages app, and I'd like to help.

Have you restarted your iPhone since noticing this issue? If not, go ahead and do that, as a restart can resolve unusual issues.

Restart your iPhone

Then take a look at this article: Use notifications on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Check out the section in that article titled "If you don't see notifications for a specific app".

Take care!
