iOS 14 text notification issues

Yes, manually close your message app every time you’re done sending or reading or whatever with your messages. It’s the only way I’ve been able to get 100% of my notifications consistently.

all these back ups and crap are not solutions. We need to wait for apple to fix this issue.

Hi all, I called and opened a ticket with Apple support yesterday. The lady said the more of us who call the faster it gets escalated to an engineering team. Seems as if they are already aware but it never hurts to bombard them. Just sharing. Call, report the issue, get your case number.

I have been an iPhone user since day 1 back in 2007 and this is definitely ios14 issue. I have found NO solution that has remedied the issue. It’s so intermittent that it’s easy to want to draw correlations when we make one small change and it works for a few. Does it have anything to do with it? Probably not.

I am having this same problem expect mine isn’t for just one person, it’s all text. The only way I know I have a text is if I go in the text app. It’s really aggravating. Doesn’t do it all the time but 90% of the time it does. Wasn’t having this problem until I updated to the latest iOS 14.2.. wish Apple would fix it. It’s very annoying. And my keyboard lags so bad. When I start typing it takes a minute for the words to start popping up!

I am having the same issues like no buzz or notifications. Like I have to go to my messages to see if they’ve replied and it’ll be two hours go by before I’m like what the heck and I see I got a message but no notification or buzz or sound

I was just on the phone with a "senior" advisor. She hung up on me when I said that this was a huge issue and someone needs to do their job and fix it.

My suggestion is for people to call Apple head office in California.

I also JUST got off the phone with a “senior” advisor at apple and she wanted to troubleshoot with me and I said no I’ve done all the troubleshooting. I spent around 4 hours of that 2 weeks ago. This is not a user error, it’s a bug in the update. So I kept telling her it’s a bug only effecting the messages app, at least for me I said. My fb messenger app gives me ALL of my notifications without error.

after about 5 mins of me telling her I’m just trying to spread the word to get this corrected on apples end she thanked me for the feedback essentially and hung up

My fiancé and I are having the same issue.We have the IPhone 11 Pro Max and we aren’t getting each others text notifications.It says READ on his end but I never even opened the text so I don’t know what this update is doing to cause this, but we need it fixed ASAP PLEASE!

I have had a support “expert” call me 4 times now and honestly I dont think there will be a solution soon. They seem clueless as to what is going on. At one point he mentioned that the engineers say that it is normal behavior...what? Having issues at work already, have to switch unfortunately

This has been going on for so long now. None of the many suggested fixes have worked for me. I’m getting concerned that Apple haven’t admitted that this is a real issue. I was ready to upgrade my 8plus to a 12, but no way at the moment.

I have been having this issue as well. I am missing text notifications intermittently. I’ve ensured my phone is not in DND, the volume is where I always have it and I’ve even changed my text tone incase I’m just used to the noise. This is a bug I hope they fix soon. I have been using other apps to text because I just can’t go without communicating with family members in the hospital with coronavirus! I open my texts to find hours old messages that seem to be marked as read with no notifications and no banner.

I have this same issues. I tried changing settings restarting my phone nothing has worked. I thought it was just me but glad to know its not. It didnt start till after the software update. I have the iphone 11 and had no issues till this update. Its annoying. sometimes it does it and sometimes it doesn't.

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.

I keep having the same issue. It started with only alerting me to certain text messages, but then completely stopped showing any alert, red bubble or anything. I have to go into the text message itself and learn that I’ve been missing messages. It never shows a “new alert”. This is happening with multiple people messaging me now. The location settings also has me located in North Carolina which I don’t live in and haven’t visited since May.

I’m having the same problem and have spent hours on calls to ATT & Apple, going to actual ATT store and certified Apple repair places—still not fixed. I’m beyond frustrated. I spent $1000+ on this phone that won’t work. Bet if I didn’t pay my Bill, they’d be calling me constantly, but trying to get them to help me is useless! GRRRRRR!

I am having the same issue. My notifictions on messages are not coming through, no sound, no vibrate, no badge, no banner. I have spent hours googling fixes and I have tried them all. All my settings are as normal. This happened the minute my phone updated to iOS14.2. If i want to see a new message I have to constantly check the message, and I am missing important messages. THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING and not good enough apple. It is happening to my partner too. Please help!!
