iOS 14 text notification issues

Same issue as the rest. Updated to ios 14 and subsequent updates and now I don’t get text notifications. I’ve checked my notification, sound, and do not disturb settings a million times. This is extremely frustrating because it has been going on for about 2 months now for me (and longer for others). It’s unbelievable Apple has not corrected this bug yet.

I often get text message notifications (number icon) on both iPhone and Mac, but then when I open Messages, there is no text message shown.

Happens a lot on the Mac, but on the iPhone not as often.

If I close Messages and reopen, it will show the message.

I have latest iOS and Catalina.

It’s actually insane that this is STILL a problem. I miss texts every day because of this problem. No notification, not even a little red “1” to tell me something is unread. Nothing.

Between this and Face ID that still won’t work for me 9 months later, I’m thinking this will be my last iPhone.

I have the same problem for the last couple of months, but it comes and goes. I won’t receive any text notifications at all (regardless of wether that’s on the lock screen or while I’m using my phone). Some days I’ll receive one or two notifications but that’s it. When I send a message it also says “read” immediately even though it isn’t. It’s really annoying that I never actually know when I have new texts. Apple NEEDS to fix this ASAP.

Having the same problem on my iPhone 8 Plus. I do get message notifications when the phone is unlocked, but when the phone is locked, the message silently appears on the lock screen. My Apple Watch never gets any sort of notification. Everything was fine up to 14. Just installed the 14 beta...still the same. Since I need notifications for work, will probably go back to old iPhone 6 running iOS 12.

Pretty frustrating that the device cost over 1k dollars and has more issues than any apple device i’ve ever owned. I ask Siri to play my music and she always says “there is a problem with apple music” before playing my songs, my cell phone signal randomly drops and I have to restart the phone, my text tone only works sometimes, my text notifications only appear sometimes, also I have had random freezing of the screen as well.

Simply unacceptable for a device that costs this much, and apple didn’t even have the courtesy to provide a charger plug.

When a msg arrives and a notification comes through, it only sits as a visual msg on the screen with no sound. As soon as I go to unlock the phone, the sound notification goes off. Was this one of the so called "Improvements" with ios14? It seems pointless not having the sound notification when the msg arrives and totally useless getting it when you unlock the phone. Has anyone been able to restore the sound notification as the msg arrives instead of when you unlock the phone?

It’s January and I’ve had this issue since September. I recently updated it to the newest IOS 14.3 and now I’m not getting message notifications OR even phone call notifications. It’s not consistent. Sometimes I’ll receive notifications, and then it just stops throughout the day randomly. This is extremely frustrating.

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.

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
