iOS 14 text notification issues

I finally got mine to work! I went to Settings->Notifications->Messages and set Repeat Alerts to Twice. Perhaps Once will work too but I'm just happy Twice is working! As long as you read your text right away it won't alert any more.

Yes, I have my notifications working now. I wasn't getting any. I have a link in this thread where Apple tells how to set it up. You have to do it thru shortcuts IF you added the icon covers or widgets. I don't have the link but this is a copy of the last step. Look back & I answered Brogellr & I believe it was Kesha who asked if it really works. It did. Notice at the bottom of this screen where the orange icon is ........it says allow messages to access notifications. There isn't anything in the Notifications section of settings that I found to work.

See page 5 in this thread.

@steelc, this article says beta versions are only available to developers so it is misleading when users give the impression anyone can download it. I did a factory reset that didn’t work and caused me to lose all my personalized settings, it did a reset all settings and that didn’t work either. I have tried everything that everyone has suggested without success.

I had same symptoms of no longer getting notifications/sounds while in lock screen.

All notifications/sounds came back after powering off my apple watch and rebooting my Iphone.

There must be some improper interaction between the Iwatch and Iphone regarding notifications.

Hopefully this problem gets fixed SOON !!

Hopefully Apple support is monitoring these discussions ?????

It is an ios 14 / 14.0.1 issue. Update the OS to 14.2 beta and the issue goes away.

All the other methods like restoring the phone, changing back ups, etc do not work. The OS is buggy resulting in this issue.

I've gone through every single possible solution until I upgraded the OS. Problem went away immediately.

I am running 14.2 and I still had the problem. As I said in my post, if I powered off my watch and then rebooted the iPhone, all seem to work OK until I powered up my watch and I started having the problem again.

After the iOS 14.1 update I suddenly stopped getting notifications for just ONE person. Because they are a “favorite” I noticed there was a “moon” next to their avatar. I went into their info - from messages - and noticed that “hide alerts” was toggled on.

If you’re only missing notifications from ONE person, this could be the reason. A bug? Or maybe I inadvertently toggled it when looking for a past image or information? Not sure but it’s fixed now!

I wasn't getting text notifications from some contacts since updating to IOS14. I fixed it this way:

In messages tap on a message thread, tap on the contact, tap on contact "Info", check to see if "Hide Alerts" is on. Turn it off if it is on. Do that for all contacts you have not been alerted to.

This worked for me.

I have resolved these issues. This is what I did:

1. Under Settings, turn airplane mode on, wait and then turn back on.
2. Under Settings, go to Notifications, then down to Messages click on Banners.

Worked for me, hope it works for all of you!

I updated my iOS 14 last month, and suddenly this beta iOS14 push notification kept popping out after I'm off of imessages, and social media. I keep putting close, and then I checked my software updates and it said iOS 14.2 Your software is up to date. I don't get it why.

I had the same issue. Go to settings - notifications - show previews - click “always”. Mine was automatically set to “when unlocked” when I did the update. It’s not under messages notifications. Just the main sections. As long as your messages are set up for notifications, this should fix the issue.

All off the suggestions for a fix that have been mentioned above still aren't working. I am not getting a vibration or audio sound notifications for incoming texts while on a call. Apple needs to take this feature into consideration for those of us who are blind or visually impaired. We are missing important notifications while on a call.

I also updated to 14.2 and the problem is still there. It has to be related to the iWatch. When I power my watch off, my notifications appear on phone Lock Screen. As soon as I turn my watch on - the notifications stop. I do have an older iWatch running 6.2.9 Watch iOS and it cannot be updated to 7.0. I ordered a new iWatch several weeks ago. It will be interesting to see if issue goes away with iWatch 7.0 iOS.

The only thing that seemed to work was to restore my phone and reset up the device as a new phone. I had to unpair and reset the apple watch too. Long process to reset everything up but certainly so far so good.

iPhone and apple watch users please note if you have both devices on you and your watch series 6 is unlocked, only the watch with get the audible notification. The phone remains silent however after unlocking your phone the notification badge and Notification Centre will show the alert.

the above worked for me and I’m using a iPhone 11Pro Max and Watch Series 6

I have been having the same issue. It seemed to have happened (to me ) after iOS 14.2 update. I won’t receive a notification. I won’t even have a badge icon for my messages. I’ll have to go back in and look at the thread. Performing a hard reset seems to have resolved the issue for now but may be a software glitch.
