iOS 14 text notification issues

True, when I turn BT off the visual appears on my lock screen again. No sound though. Nothing brought that back. People are getting tired of me saying "try it again!". Givin Apple and iphone a bad name. But yeah the BT has something to do with it. I just can't sit here staring at my screen all day.

I just tried Bluetooth and my phone messages are fine, but WhatsApp still doesn’t respond to turning off Bluetooth. I’m hoping if we just keep complaining someone will pay attention to this thread lol.

Win Win! LOL At least we can hear each other. Everyone's out to lunch in America. I think we always were. We just notice it more. These posts pry chime on some computer in a closet somewhere on the West Coast. My BT is tied into my diabetic monitoring system and can't do without it. Having to chose health over being available is a joke. Anyway Cheers!

And here I was upset that if my Bluetooth was off I’d lose access to the Tile tracking my wallet & keys in case they go missing again lol. These devices are now so significantly intertwined into our lives, and even our well-being in your case. Hope this gets attention!

Four months later and it still isn't fixed. When people who I don't text often text me I get the notifications but the person I text the most I hardly see their notifications and it already says I read it when I never even opened up the messenger app. EXTREMELY disappointing from such a big company. This just shouldn't be an issue at all for a company that makes billions a year. This should have been fixed as soon as the problem came about. Why is it still here? Well that's beyond me. Apple should have fixed this a long time ago and it should have never been an issue in the first place. I hope someone from Apple does read this so they can fix this problem because it is outrageous that it is still happening after all this time.

This is happening for me aswell for 1 person, the most important person i text. It is very annoying. VERY. To the point im considering switching to android and i hate android. If the issue isnt fixed it is very very very inconvenient especially when it is the one person i text the most.

I posted this before. IOS 14.2 added a new hidden feature into all contacts(silent notification). 14.3 did fix some of the issues. However any contacts I had before 14.2 will be silent. this feature must ne turned off per contact. To disable this annoying feature, go into the contact when the person contacts you. the feature is found in the information tab of the message. Find it and turn it off(in i message, not general contacts).

I tried the silent notification change in iMessage on my wife's message and. Now I get nothing on my watch or phone. I put it back to the setting it was on. Instead, I at least get a ding for my important contacts on my watch by changing emergency bypass to on in the contacts app for text messaging. I did that for the ringtone as well so now I know when my wife is texting of calling. even with silent mode set on the watch. I don't get any notification alert on my phone, only my watch.

Guys, just switch to Android. Seriously, it's been 4 months and the folks at Apple don't think it's an issue. Complaining here won't do anything, just get an Android and you will enjoy having your basic phone functions back.

So frustrating when my partner and family believe I’m ignoring them when I’m really just not getting notified of some of their messages

Ive checked notification settings and closed everything. Nothing is working

Does Apple know about this? It’s been a problem since November, many people have it, and there doesn’t seem to be a rush to fix it.

I have had to tell everybody to call or use Messenger, and that’s certainly going to drive people away from Apple, including me. While I’ve had an IPhone since they came out in 2007, other phones are now just as good which means iPhone, for me, it is a heritage product and habit. Not to be a hysteric or Karen, but this issue is bad enough to give up the phone and switch to Android. (For an example, the very day this began I missed a text stating my daughter-in-law was in labor).

Has anybody talked to Apple? Has there been a valid response? I assumed they read here but if they said anything, I missed it.

I turned Bluetooth off and everything is normal now (I wasn't getting audible alerts for Messages). Everything is working for me now, including my Apple watch, which I assumed it would stop working when I turned off Bluetooth. I turn it back on for my Bluetooth sleep machine at night then back off in the morning and all is fine.

I suspect there are multiple bugs due to the differences in the how the problems are exhibiting themselves.

The problem with not using Messages is that you no longer get SMS messages. Has anyone tried turning off iMessage to see if that changes anything?

And I tried turning off iMessage, handoff, face tracking, notifications on apple watch, do not disturb schedule and screen dimming settings. Nothing works but turning off bluetooth.

And this is not just messages problem but all push notifications problem.

I was having the same issue. However, I went into my message settings and turned off message forwarding and it seemed to resolve the issue because now I am receiving my message banners and notifications.

My issue started when I downloaded IOS14.3 on new years day. No WhatsApp or Instagram badges, pop up notifications or phone calls. iMessage and Facebook messenger is ok for some unknown reason. Very embarrassing as I have missed several messages and calls from work colleagues, friends and family. I am not the sort of person to check my phone unless I get a notification, so it is very frustrating
