iOS 14 text notification issues

I’m having the same issue. I am starting to think I should not have switched to Apple. I miss so many important text. My boyfriend was going to get an iPhone and has now changed his mind. To many issues after updates with battery and text.

I have the same issue...except sometimes I get the notification that I have a text from a person and I open it and then there are like 2 or 3 other texts from that person I had no idea I got. It won’t notify me or tell me I have any new messages. It just opens itself. This started after downloading the IOS14. Needs fixed ASAP!!!!

I am not getting sound notifications on text messages nor is the banner showing up on my locked screen. I have an iPhone 11 and just downloaded the latest iOS 14. Have reset my phone twice now. Please advise. Thank you.

Well, here's my (ridiculous!) workaround, because I'm needing to get notifiations for some important things right now.

My iPad Mini does get notifications, so I have to keep the iPad nearby so I can receive notifications!!!

So guess, we all need an iPad companion for our iPhones LOL (and tears)

Is anyone else not getting notification of a call and then getting the voicemail days later?

Apple tried to blame my carrier but I showed the senior agent with Apple this link to our discussion and said to her that it couldn’t be my carrier and that they need to take ownership of this issue.

She went back to their engineering department and will call me tomorrow morning. (Hopefully)

my experience of that is that if i reply on my ipad, and forget to erase the messages, i get either no texts back from the person, or no notifications at all on my phone.. somehow the messages get stuck

I'm relying on having my iPad nearby just to be sure I see or hear the Notifications (that come there consistently) -- then I know to check my phone to see text (and reply there or not)

I recently bought an iPad Pro 12.9”, mainly for photography and movie-viewing. It’s main function during the day is alerting me to texts as my phone has given up. Come on Apple, you leaders in Technology! All I’m looking for is a little tune when I get a text ( or even a shrill ringtone like I had on my very first cellphone all those years ago)

I have been experiencing the same issue! I found that the issue was only occurring to messages that were 'pinned' in my messages app. When I unpinned all my contacts in my messages app, I stopped experiencing the issue. I hope this helps.

It's got more attention now. There is an article on The Verge and it also references this long thread of ours in this forum.

One user in the Facebook comments listed a tedious work-around that has been working for him [paraphrased below]

"Before you leave your text messaging chat window, always back out to the main chat window so that you don't leave the chat window open on any one particular contact. It should be left open in the main chat window that lists all of your text messaging conversations."

Having to remember to do this is on the same level of killing the chat window after every text (the other work-around that has worked) but at least this bug is getting more and more widespread attention. Link to the article is below.

the verge article only talks of iMessage and regular messages. It’s not saying anything about the notifications of other apps in general... tbs WhatsApp, signal and spark on my side are really ruining me

Sorry to hear it. I'm not having any other issues with any other notifications other than text messages. However, I don't have the two apps you mentioned. Hopefully, those issues are related to the text messaging bug.and will get resolved when the text bug in IOS 14 gets addressed.

I am using iPhone 8 plus with iOS 14.2. I don’t get notifications for whatsapp calls and messages. For whatsapp messages i atleast get notified after some time but i am missing whatsapp calls altogether. I checked all notification settings in my iPhone and whatsapp and everything is correct. I did a complete fresh reset of the iPhone 2 times but still same issue. I am facing this from iOS 13. I don’t know what else to do. Just fedup missing a basic whatsapp call. What is the use of having advanced technology chip, camera and **** when this iPhone doesn’t let me know when a call comes

Thought it was just me with the SMS until today. I move my old SIM into my 12 and thought that had something to do with it. Had the carrier replace my SIM last week, and that seemed to work for a couple days.

Now I see your post. Though I never linked the two until today, I am also getting intermittent WhatsApp messages too.

mine is getting increasingly worse, I am now missing calls & notifications from other apps as well. went to the apple store where she said she hadn’t heard of anyone having the issue and they’d replaced the phone and just...each day I’m getting less than the day before 😂 but now calls too, making things next to impossible.

I've been having this issue for months. It's so frustrating. I'm constantly missing messages because I don't know they're there and they get marked as read. I constantly have to manually check my messages app by opening all my conversations to see if I have messages I haven't replied too. Incredibly annoying.
