iOS 14 text notification issues

UPDATE: It appears when reaching out to Apple in regards to this issue, they are now addressing it as a known bug they are reviewing. There is NO solution to this issue known by Apple at this time, and I have personally tried everything, so I wouldn’t waste your time trying any ‘solutions’ talked about in this thread!

I also sent a DM on Twitter to Apple support. At least they are acknowledging the problem and didn’t suggest restoring or resetting the phone etc. Hopefully it will be soon as this is affecting me at work and not just socially. In the meantime keep leaving feedback, contacting support via all channels as this forum is just user to user and while I’d be surprised if they didn’t monitor at all they definitely don’t interact or use posts here as official bug reports.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I have this same notification issue, and iOS 14.3 has NOT fixed this issue for me, and neither has it for other users within /r/iOSBeta. The 14.3 release does not make any mention of fixing this iMessage notification bug, so we shall have to be waiting ducks for even longer until the next iOS release.

This may be a stretch but in settings under do not disturb there is a check on silence while phone is locked. I assumed it would only apply when do not disturb is actually on but maybe there is a bug?

Has everyone updated to iOS 14.3?! Has a section in release notes (that WEREN’T there in the 14.3 RC beta release notes) indicating this may be addressed! I updated hours ago and so far so good. Been a quiet message afternoon so time will be the ultimate test.

I just happened to check my settings in software update. There is a 14.3 update that shows its supposed to fix the text issues. I’m going to do the update and see if that works. See screenshot. Fingers crossed.

Some of the suggested solutions seemed weak but in the end I just now shut down my phone and restarted, the weakest solution of all but often most effective. It didn’t fix it, but it did show a crescent moon beside the name of the person whose texts were coming in mute. This time when I clicked on the “i” it said that the one individual had “Hide Alerts” turned on. I did not ever turn that on and I don’t even know how it could’ve been hit accidentally since I never go into that section of the information about him...except when I don’t get notified of texts. Which I did earlier and that wasn’t turned on. I like to think all’s well that ends well but, come on.

To find out if we all have the same error, you can do this test: In my case I enter WhatsApp Web and after 8-10 minutes it shows me "Teléfono sin conexión (Phone without connection)", that is to say, basically my iPhone disconnects from the internet and that's why it doesn't the notifications of any application that uses the internet work (WhatsApp, iMessage, Instagram, Telegram, etc).

Can you do the tests and confirm if it is the same in your case?

I love how the moderator removed Tim

Cook's email address like we couldn't figure that one out...

Anyway - Just wanted to let everyone know that I finally I fixed my issue after 6 months of this nonsense. I bought a Samsung Galaxy A12 for $180. And I haven't missed a notification since. Is it the best phone ever? Nah. Is it functional? Yeah. Have I died from using it? Nah. Good enough. Good luck yall. I'll be following the thread on my new phone. This was the last thing I sent via Apple Chat supoort.:

" iOS Notifications STILL not working SEVEN MONTHS later. I'm not even bothering to type how much **** I have gone through to try and fix this issue. Case: 101237160691 Opened 11/20/20. Started as just an iMessage issue. Closed after tech support told me it was a third-party bluetooth issue. ********. Reopened 03/11/21. I sent a lot of screenshots. Case was closed without any resolution by telling me they had tried to call on 03/16/21, but A: I received no calls that were not in my contacts on that day and B: The support agent said he would follow up to schedule a call, which he did not. I have now missed important work notifications that have cost me over $600 from multiple apps including Apple Messages, Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. I have restored my phone so many times that I keep a list of apps I need to download after a clean install in my Notes. Which is ridiculous.

I worked for Apple for 10 years in Customer Relations out of Austin, TX. This is embarrassing and I just had to buy a Samsung. "

I am not getting any push notifications for my WhatsApp and telegram app after updating iOS14, all my notification settings are on. I even did a reset all settings, reset network settings but it still doesn’t work! Thinking that iOS14.0.1 will solve the issue but it is still not working!

agree. Would prefer a fix that doesn’t affect my whole phone universe if possible. I wonder If there’s a conflict in the announcement of text messages when using Air Pods and using Air Pods for my audio during a phone call. Seems odd this isn’t a more widespread issue if intentional

Well I did the reset as someone did and said it fixed the problem. It did not fix it for me and I am now wasting time putting everything back like it was was before. Still no alert when I receive a text.

Same here as many. No text alerts while in active calls. I deleted all of my conversations after reading one response that said this fixed it, but no such luck for me. Hard to believe that this isn't a bug and was done intentionally. No way, lol.

Reset all didn’t work . I somehow fixed by uninstalling apps one by one and reinstalling them . When doing so , iOS prompts you to enable notifications and it seems that it did fix it .

For apple : looks to me that the new update is bypassing/overwriting/ignoring the notifications settings by setting them to false by default . Only a fresh reinstall seems to fix it .

I have the same issues I reset all settings and didnt work. I reset setting and contents and same problem. I talked to apple they told me to restore my phone using itunes because it would refresh the software and set it up as new without transfering any app, I was thinking it would work but it didnt. Went to apple store and they wanted to do the same but ended up telling me even if they restore the phone it might not work. Its a software issue, please apple get this problem fixed I really need to get notifications while im on a call.
