iOS 14 text notification issues

I’m having the same exact problem. I won’t get notified when text messages come through. No tone, no banner, no vibrate, nothing...sometimes my phone will randomly light up, but if I don’t have my phone facing up that doesn’t happen. This is extremely frustrating not only for myself but the people I am trying to have a conversation with

I have an 11 Pro Max, with the 14 upgrade I’ve lost hundreds of texts, including photos. And, not I get no notifications on SMS, even my favorites and emergency contacts. Of course, I do get spam notices. :/

This is not a feature, it’s a bug, and a bad one. I have tried every fix I’ve read about. . People should not have to call me to tell me they texted. And if there is no solution it will drive me from Apple.

ios 14 was the worst upgrade ever.

Same. Not getting vibrations, sound, notifications, anything. It’s literally like the text was read and I just ignored it but I had NO notice of a text arriving. I go hours or days sometimes now without seeing a message and that is NOT acceptable.

I am also having this problem and it's very frustrating. Especially when I'm expected a response and I think I didn't get one just because I'm not getting any notifications and it's marked as read. I have tried restarting my phone, turning off and back on my message notifications, etc and nothing is working.

Wake up, Apple! There’s a problem with 14.2 and you need to fix it. You’re driving customers to android phones by your failure to fix this. It’s been going on way too long and affecting many, many users

It’s happening to me too. I have not been being alerted to all my notifications. iPhone or android users who text me, same issue. I have an iPhone 11 (yellow), and it is driving me crazy! @Apple, PLEASE FIX ASAP!!!!!!!!!!

I've seen reports of this being fixed in the 14.3 beta. Several users have reported it that are using this public beta. Whether or not they're publicly referencing it is a different story but there seems to be hope.

I have the same issue and it happens not with every text. Just so annoying and you would think Apple would finally bring out an update to fix this!!! I so tired of checking in my messages if they replied...come on Apple fix this!!!

Apple support on Twitter got me to try lots of things, one that worked for a few hours but now they say they have no fox but are aware and their engineers are working on it and to keep my phone updated so I guess they’ll be doing a new update soon. I don’t get why they don’t release the old update before this problem happened till they got a fix

I have the same issue everyone is reporting here. I have the iPhone 8 Plus and am on ios 14.2. Latest update stopped messages from notifying me from several different apps, including Mail, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Twitter...etc.

I am really unhappy that this change was made in the release. It's extremely inconvenient. Because I'm not getting notifications I have potention employers calling me and asking if I received their email with job descriptions...etc. Because I don't watch email all day non-stop, I can sometimes go hours without checking email and have missed some urgent stuff.

Apple: Please undo this for us, or create a way for people to choose whether they wish to use this part of the update or not.

I’m also having issues with my iPhone 11 not getting all text notifications through on my phone too. Some do some don’t, highly annoying especially if your waiting for an important text message to come through. Can you change this back to how it was please?

I don’t get any notifications for Messages. I’ve troubleshot everything (mute switch, do not disturb, notification settings) to no avail. Really annoying problem

I’m also on the latest version of iOS 14.2.1

I called Apple support, and they walked me through a fix which is not related to the problem necessarily.

Go to Settings->Messages->Send & Recieve and Un-check all of your “send & receive” email addresses or other phone numbers except for ONE on the device your using, in my case it was my cell phone number.

That fixed it for me, even though it’s not a long-term or root cause fix as I’d like to get messages from my Apple ID email as well but it’ll do until they fix it in an update.

It sounds like Apple is grasping at straws. Look at all of the "fixes" in the above messages. They have no idea what the problem is. They will tell you what you want you want to hear. Hopefully this will work for you.

If it really is a core iOS software issue it stands to reason there is no true “Rick until they release a software update so naturally they’re going to try and propose various things that could help. In this case it seems there is no one fix for all issues. Wait we must.
