iOS 14 text notification issues

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!!!

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?

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.

I am having the same issue. Checked all the settings in my phone, did a hard reset, and still nothing. When my phone is locked, I get no notifications for my messages. But my watch and iPad get them. When my phone is unlocked, I get notifications with the text tone associated to the contact. It’ started happening in the last week or so.

I am having the same issue along with when I text another person who also has an iPhone, and also the same update, it will immediately say they read the message as soon as I send it, which then doesn’t notify them when I texted back, and vice versa. Anyone else have the same problem?

So I have sent a DM to Apple support and they have asked me to send them all kinds of screen shots. They have just asked if it’s only effecting text notifications and I’ve said yes. If any of you guys or girls have Twitter I would the same so they know how many people this is effecting. I will post more once they come back to me

Good to know that Apple have at least "heard reports of this issue". Perhaps their next step might be fix it.

As for their recommendation to keep device up-to-date! It was last update that started this going wrong on my phone.

I would be happier going back to phone as it was prior to this update!

Thanks posting this latest snippet of news.

I’m having the same issues. I have a 10S, and it’s updated to iOS 14.2. I noticed the issue starting with the update, and it’s mostly with SMS texts from androids. I’ve restarted my phone a LOT, and I’ve turned the iMessages on and off several times. I saw that they came out with an update for iPhone 12s but not any other phone.

Same issue here. The Apple feedback form is extremely frustrating because, as another user stated, it doesn't even account for the latest iOS. I rely on my phone for work and everyday life. To not know when my messages will randomly decide to stop notifying me that someone has contacted me is beyond problematic. I kept thinking Apple would figure this out and address it ASAP but that was apparently asking too much. This truly needs to get resolved.

This is detrimental and hurting my business. PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP! I am not getting notifications from numbers that are not "iphone" I signed up with Redfin to receive Real Estate leads and they send out a mass message and whoever replies YES first gets the lead. I am not getting notifications everything is on the highest volume possible and it still DOES NOT notify me. Guess who's not getting leads????

I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max and iOS 14.2.1 (the latest update at this time.) Every now and again I’ll get a sound notification and vibration for a text sometimes and other times I won’t even know that I have a text message waiting until either my Apple Watch reminds me or I open my phone to see a red notification on my SMS messaging app. Is there any update here as to what Apple is doing to fix this bug? The point to having a phone is so that you can be reached anywhere, at anytime by a noise and or vibration. This is aggravating especially on a brand new phone.

When I filed my complaint/feedback with Apple just a few minutes ago, I wasn’t even given the option to select the most up to date iOS 14.2.1 the latest option available was 14.1 so that kind of clues me in that they’re behind. According to a couple things I’ve read they intentionally wrote this into the update, why is beyond me. The point of having a phone is to be reached anytime, anywhere for any reason and this hinders that. From what I have found, originally the latest update was meant for the 12 mini’s in response to screen responsiveness, however all other 12 models have been the fall outs. I haven’t even had this phone 2 weeks and now this is what I’m dealing with, let’s hope they get it together and repair this bug.

Same here. Since updating, I don’t get text message notifications or a (1) against Messages for a new text message if I have just left the conversation, I have to remember to go back into the thread in order to see any new messages once they reply.

I’m getting the same issue. It doesn’t show on the Home Screen. The badge doesn’t show up and no sound. Occurs at random. I’ve missed important messages because I can’t see anything unless I open the message to a specific person.
