iOS 14 text notification issues

I’ve tried being part of the beta program, and they give you the “feedback” app and I’ve literally never seen or heard Apple take any of the “smaller” issues into consideration.

My brother also got a new phone for a gift, literally yesterday (iPhone XR -> 11) and he’s the person I didn’t see the message from. So i kind of assumed maybe his new phone hasn’t been completely set up or something. But I also haven’t gotten text notifications in banner style from any of my other family members all day. I have gotten push notifications though, which is why I thought it was just my brother.

I do have previews turned off in lock screen unless my phone is unlocked so i kind of thought maybe it was that?

Of course, literally the ONLY text notifications I have gotten today that have bannered, pushed, and shown up in my lock screen are from “unknown” numbers or recurring texts messages (e.g., D2L texting me when my grade is updated.)

So, Apple’s move next I suppose.

It honestly doesn’t surprise me. Multiple features stopped working or disabled themselves. I think that is absolutely ridiculous. I also missed important messages from my mom and my boss. Why would an update be designed to disable messages and not inform the users? I honestly don’t know... this issue sounds just like issues that people with androids have. You have to program your phone for alerts because the phone won’t automatically make a sound, light up, or alert you. Very upsetting

I didn’t buy from this year’s newest iPhone line, but when we went to go pick up my brother’s phone, I didn’t realize that the older models were also going to be shipped in smaller boxes without the EarPods & a charging brick. Plus, the cord features is USB-C to lightning. it’s not THAT big of a deal, but Apple didn’t do any sort of price reduction. And even moreso, with the iPhone 12 line, they’re an extra $30 compared to last year’s launch of the iPhone 11. Not only are they not gonna give you your accessories, but they’re not gonna even offer a discount for not having the accessories, and for the newest line they’re even gonna charge you more!

Like I said, I’m fine with my phone and charger and AirPods, but I feel like if Apple is going to charge you an arm and a leg for the entry level models that are being sent out with the newest iOS update pre-installed, remove accessories, send out the product in an “environmentally friendly” box that also reduces the shipping costs — the least they can do is make sure the current iOS update actually WORKS.

Ok, so the apple support people have suggested this to me and so far it is working!!

it may of course be random and stop again but thought I’d share so you can try just in case. So far, all coming through 🤞🤞🤞

I have the iPhone 8 Plus. Recently I haven’t been getting text messages. They don’t show up on my Lock Screen or in the Notification Center nor do I get the sound of it. I miss important messages. Does anyone know why and how to fix it?

Me too, I just joined this forum JUST so I could reply. iPhone 11 for me, iOS 14 update and now I get NO notifications on my Lock Screen when someone texts me. I’ve lost money because of this as I use my phone for business...this is beyond unacceptable.

Me too. My iPhone X stopped notifying me when I had a text message but I thought it was a bug with the phone. Bought the iPhone 12 pro max and I had the same issue, after speaking with Apple I had reset my phone and set it up in a different way but it still has the same issues. Nothing I have done will help....

I’m having the same problem, this started after doing the latest update of IOS 14 on my iPhone 11..... I’m missing so many text from people. It happen the most when I text someone and then I don’t get there respond but I’ll get another person notification..... so frustrating

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

Apple is not reading here for suggestions or feedback. If you want them to know your concerns, post them in the appropriate place:

Product Feedback - Apple

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!!!!!!!!!!
