iOS 14 text notification issues

I had this issue on my iPhone 11 Pro Max and it carried over when I upgraded to the iPhone 12 Pro Max. I was hopeful the 14.2.1 update would fix it, but it didn’t. At least the 14.2.1 update fixed the MMS problem, but still no notifications. Extremely frustrating and like other users on this forum I’ve had to start checking my phone multiple times an hour to make sure I don’t have new messages and of course have to apologize to people when I don’t return their texts. Has  even acknowledged that this is an issue?

I did the chat support on Sunday and then had a guy called me because it would be easier to troubleshoot. The guy over the phone had me share the screen, ran some tests and had me asking me friends to text so we could replicate the issue and for hiM to make notes on it as well as uploading the log. Supposedly it is a known issue, and he will call me tomorrow to follow up on it. The more people that can spend calling for 20 minutes to share the log and for apple

to get more examples on different phones I think would help. I rather have 20 min to replicate an issue then upload the log than literally months of never knowing when I receive a text

I am having the same problem with anyone who doesn’t have an iPhone. The vibration doesn’t work and is softer if it does. I have called apple about the problem and they keep telling me it’s a carrier problem....umm it’s your software. So fix it.

I'm having the same problem since I updated to iOS 14 on my iPhone X.

in particular, all the apps, no one excluded are not receiving push notifications of any sort.

in my settings the notifications are enabled for all the apps and background refresh too.

on Whatsapp for instance, if someone either sends me a text message or call me, I won't get any notifications!!! this is crazy.

I re-installed the app too, didn't help. did all the tricks that you guys suggested about changing the notification style from Temporary to Permanent, didn't help.

APPLE! please fix this!!!!!!!!!!! ffs. this is unacceptable from a company like yours.

I'm running iOS 14.2 at the moment and the issue still persist.

I work with the phone and notifications are like the ABC of a phone. get your **** together and fix this!

I’ve been having problems with my phone getting notifications from one phone number. And it’s with the IOS 14.2 that it’s been having problems with. Like I have to keep exiting out of iMessages just to get the notification to show. And it’s an android phone number as well. But I’ve never had any other problems with other people messaging me through this

Can we please have this fixed ASAP all these expensive freaking devices and your years of doin updates technically you should have all these smoothed out by now when it comes to updates just reminds me of Pokémon go money grabbing but not following throw with decent update roll outs! Frustrating

I’ve been having this issue for two months now. It’s specific to one person who does not have an iPhone... I never receive notifications for the incoming texts. I’ve tried updating my software, restarting my phone, checking all notification settings... nothing seems to fix it. Very frustrating.

Yes, that’s what worked for me. I toggled off messages in cloud AND filter unknown senders. Now I have noticed that it is internment. After trying these yesterday (Thanksgiving), everything worked good all day. Today, it is off and on but only with 1 contact. My next option will be to delete that contact and re-create them in my phone to see if that fixes it permanently.

Another thing I am going to try is unpin (in messages app iOS 14) said contact. Could be an issue with that too. Maybe their texts get automatically opened so to speak when they are pinned (which would be a big of course not by Apple design).

thank god im not the only one having this issue. its been driving my crazy. my watch no longer recieves notifications either from text messages. i have found turning off notifications in settings>notifications>messages sometimes allows my watch to get the notification strangely enough. please apple fix this bug.

Hi all

I'm also really struggling with this and missing notifications, did anyone figure this out?

I had a work email come in today and when I opened my phone it had disappeared on the app and when I went to my laptop the email and also disappeared, it wasn't even in the deleted items!

I’ve tried every solution in this thread.

the only thing that works consistently is to close the message app EVERY time you send and expect a message back. It’s annoying, but at least you’ll get text notifications again.

Been doing this for over a week.

This only happened to me once I pinned a conversation in my messages app. I have reset the phone, unpinned the two conversations, checked all the settings, and anything else that has been suggested here. Most of the time the texts aren't even showing up until I click on that person's text thread - then it says it was send an hour or two ago. So frustrating especially when it is family that you are trying to communicate with. I can't believe this has been going on since September for some of you and it still hasn't been taken care of in the updates.

Mine isn't showing any notifications, banners or red bubbles. On the other end, the iMessage sender, says that the text is read immediately after sending. As if the phone is automatically opening and viewing the messages so there's no notification. Very frustrating iOS 14 was a huge fail.

It's the update! I don't know why it's taking Apple so long to fix this. The number of complaints grows every day, but it seems as if Apple doesn't give a ****. Or are they really that incompetent?

I am having the same issue. I have the iPhone 12 Pro, and I keep my phone up to date. Yesterday it randomly started not showing any notification of a text. My phone also hasn’t been ringing when I get calls it just pops up as if my phone is on silent when it’s not. I have missed several important phone calls because of this.
