iOS 14 text notification issues

I have recently update my phone (11 pro max) to the IOS 14.2 software and since this update I will randomly receive text notifications. Other times, I will not know I have a new message unless I go into the message app. There is no sound notification, no banner notification, nothing on my lock screen, not even a red number on the message app; nothing to indicate I got a new text. I have tried all the tips and tricks that have been suggested to fix this and nothing has worked I am still having this issue. It is very, very annoying.

Same same. At first I thought I was crazy and was thinking “am I really this absent minded?” But seeing all of these other messages is validating me lol. It seems like it picks and chooses when it wants to send a notification or not. It’s hardly ever on the Lock Screen, or if it is, it disappears the next time I turn it on. I also have a new iPhone 11 with iOS 14.2. I hate this... why would Apple get rid of this? Getting texts and being notified of them is literally the point of having a cell phone lol. Stupid. Please change this.

Spam apple supports number telling them to fix this annoying bug!! I texted the support number and all they had to say was, “thanks for the feedback”. They typically actually text you and try to work out the issue. This must be just a bug that needs to be addressed ASAP. Text them your issues!! Obviously they’re not looking at this thread.

I am having this same issue. I have the new iphone 12 pro max and the watch 6. Everything is up to date as of today. I get no sound or banner on the locked screen. My phone is not on silent and the volume is turned up. I have had this issue for quite some time.

I got the new iPhone 12 recently and have similar issues. But more frustrating are the delayed and missing messages from a group chat with a mixed of iPhone and Android users. Today, i received from Apple an email to give my feedback regarding my purchase. In the survey there are enough questions to provide what we are facing in this thread. Hopefully a very dissatisfied purchase will get someone to address the issue.

Thousands of people are having an issue with their notifications not working after installing iOS 14 and you come up here and mention “turn it on”? How about you use some common sense.....WE GOT A FIX turn it on in notification

what a joke...

So now not only does my loudspeaker microphone not work on a brand new iPhone 12 pro, but I also don’t receive any notifications on iOS 14.2. This iPhone and software is terrible apple need to step up their game before I say enough is enough

almost every time I put my AirPods in it cranks the phone ring volume up from the lowest setting to medium-high and jumps the f*ck out of me when I’m at work. That’s also a new bug with this update.

2020 strikes again! Thanks apple!

I am having the same issue. I did not have it until updating to iOS14 and pretty sure I did not have the issue until it updated to 14.2. It is random. Some times messages from a particular person come through and other times they do not. I have made sure no one is blocked; all notifications are turned on for messages; iMessage is turned on; reset my settings; then reset the entire phone. Nothing has resolved it. I saw on another page where Apple watch could help because it seems to still catch the messages even if they phone does not. This is not the case with me. My apple watch behaves exactly like the phone. I do not know what to do. I have iPhone 11. Thanks for any help! This is ridiculous. I have had this happen to multiple people in my contact list. Sometimes the messages pop up and sometimes they do not.

Same here! So aggravating! Why is this an issue?! I'm losing serious trust in Apple. It seems also they will fix a bug in one version, come out with a new version that addresses something else but then has the same old bug in it from a version or two prior. Come on Apple! Get your act together!!!

I've got this same issue. I only upgraded to iOS 14.2 recently, and now I'm not receiving notifications for any apps properly.

It worries me that this was first reported in September and now it's mid-November and there's still no fix from Apple. I wonder if it will ever get resolved.

I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max and am not receiving any banner, vibration, or sound notifications for text messages (both iMessage and SMS). With all due respect, this is completely unacceptable for a $1400 phone. this is a rudimentary function that has been around long before iPhones even existed. I am missing important work messages, messages from my spouse, as well as missed an emergency text where I did not find out a friend had been rushed to the ER until the next morning when I found out by randomly entering the Messages app for a completely different reason. please do not tell us this is a hardware issue, as my husband is not having this issue on his iPhone 12 Pro Max with all of the same settings as my phone.

I have called Apple Support and was told to do a hard reboot (which I did yesterday and temporarily worked but then screwed up iMessaging completely) but that is not working. I was then told to remove iOS and reinstall via iTunes on my computer (iTunes is still a thing?) what year are we in? I have seen others do this, waste a ton of time, and then it does not work. I was also told this likely will not be fixed until 14.3 release at the earliest. okay so when is that supposed to be? was also told this is a side-effect of upgrading to iOS new releases very early on...1) I work in technology...I know what "release" means and 2) unfortunately due to security permissions, my work requires us to automatically update our phones to the new release as soon as it's publicly available, or they will lock us out of our mobile email.

PLEASE FIX THIS. we are in a global pandemic, the holidays are coming up, and for many of us, the only way we are going to be safely communicating with extended family is via text and phone.

I have solely purchased Apple products for 10 years and unfortunately will have to switch to Android if this is not resolved. really don't want to do this (and essentially waste the $1400 I just spent on this error-ridden device), but a phone without push notifications is worthless to me.

It is infuriating that Apple was telling us to do a hard reboot, when they are the ones who introduced the error into their so-called update. Seeing the number of people having this problem, they need to get off their well-paid behinds and fix it.

Some people here are trying to be useful, and their answer is always "reset your phone" restore and set up as new, but yeah, notifications is the best so far LOL. Millions of people having issues according to Forbes, but yeah its notification

I had the same issue and read through most of the posts here!!

I may have found a solution (at least worked for me).

as many have said, turning Do Not Disturb on and off has no effect... try this:

Turn do not disturb on.

swipe down to see the Notification Center.

it will show a message saying to turn off the Do Not Disturb. Press this option to turn it off.

and voila!!

seems that turning the DND manually in settings doesn’t work, but through the Notification Center it actually works.
