iOS 14 text notification issues

Adding my situation to the list here - iPhone SE (original) on iOS 14.2 and Apple Watch 6, intermittently not getting text message Notifications on either device, but they do seem to pop up on my iPad (just noticed them on iPad recently, so not yet sure if the missing ones always go there (my first impression was that my iPad was somehow stealing the notification, which didn't make sense at all). Today I spent an hour and a half on phone with Apple Support with no resolution other than wait for 14.1 (after restoring my Watch to New and losing all my data).

After reading this and a few other threads, I'm just going to give up and accept the fact that for foreseable future Notifications won't work. Very frustrating, have had iPhone since the very first early release and never had such basic loss of function

WOW - I see 4,752 people have noted they have this question too!

Yes but your reply isn't clear. Which path are u using because the path I posted a few minutes ago does not have "notify me" in it.

If I go this route, there is a "notify me" for MENTIONS:

Settings > Messages > Mentions (slide "Notify Me" to OFF)

^^^^ Is that the path u took?

Whenever I am using certain apps I no longer get the vibration or banner notification from my iMessage app. I end up missing messages from minutes to hours ago. I wiped my phone backed it up and reset all the settings. Wtf Apple? I toggle everything on and off. Create a new update. This **** is wack.

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)

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)

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 problem ever since getting my 12 mini with ios14. Sometimes I get notifications and sometimes not. When I don’t get them it says that I’ve read them even though I havnt. I’ve tried several different things and nothing seems to work.
