iOS 14 text notification issues

Does Apple know about this? It’s been a problem since November, many people have it, and there doesn’t seem to be a rush to fix it.

I have had to tell everybody to call or use Messenger, and that’s certainly going to drive people away from Apple, including me. While I’ve had an IPhone since they came out in 2007, other phones are now just as good which means iPhone, for me, it is a heritage product and habit. Not to be a hysteric or Karen, but this issue is bad enough to give up the phone and switch to Android. (For an example, the very day this began I missed a text stating my daughter-in-law was in labor).

Has anybody talked to Apple? Has there been a valid response? I assumed they read here but if they said anything, I missed it.

My issue started when I downloaded IOS14.3 on new years day. No WhatsApp or Instagram badges, pop up notifications or phone calls. iMessage and Facebook messenger is ok for some unknown reason. Very embarrassing as I have missed several messages and calls from work colleagues, friends and family. I am not the sort of person to check my phone unless I get a notification, so it is very frustrating

Is anyone else having the issues with voicemail coming in days later? I have had this happen so many times. I am a chaplain at a hospital and have had it happen many times when they have called for me to go in to give the last rights to patients I don't get the voicemail until days later. It also happened when my sister called for my dad when he was dying and also again today with another voicemail that was left on Friday.

I have called apple and have opened a case as probably many of you have but they seem to be not doing much to fix the issue. Android here I come if they don't fix this soon!

I have been having this issue since updating to 14. I refuse to go any further, since 14.1 and on lose all notifications. I currently have no audible notifications just visual ones. If I go further I’ll lose those too. Apple doesn’t read this forum but I keep checking anyway in case someone smarter than Apple comes up with a fix.

I do not have a watch and I do not have my bluetooth on and I AM STILL NOT receiving text notifications of any sort. It's beyond frustrating. I have to go through each text thread just to make sure I didn't miss a response from someone. This is hurting my work life and I am losing clients.

Ever since I updated my iPhone XR to the iOS 14, I do not always get iMessage notifications (my sms texts seem to be uneffected). Some of the contacts I speak to through text more frequently AND have iPhones, I sometimes don’t receive their texts until hours later. (Once even almost 24 hours). The only thing that kicks these iMessages trough is to turn my phone off and back on. I have to be conscious to turn my phone off and back on to make sure I am getting my texts. It’s ANNOYING. It also doesn’t always notify me when I do receive a text. I have to actually look at my text messages. This needs to be fixed because it’s been happening for MONTHS now and I’m seriously considering switching brands completely. I have been brand loyal for years, but unfortunately they are not fixing this issue in a timely manner.

I was getting far too many textures and comments from all thrse idiots. I’m glad it’s finally turned off. I could stand to thin some of them out anyway. Tell me they want to buy my junk car, I don’t even have a **** car!!!!

I’m having the same problem. None of my notifications (text included) are showing up on my iPhone 12 Pro Max (iOS 14.3) anymore. I can hear the sound but nothing shows up unless I navigate to the text and find it there unread. It just started today and I tried all the tricks posted here and nothing solves it. Super frustrating!

I am also having this issue. Pretty disappointing... this is the first time I've purchased a phone at release and this is a pretty serious issue. I'm finding a lot of "solutions" from a variety of sources online that don't seem to work. ie. Turning Bluetooth off, airplane mode, reinstalling apps, factory defaulting the phone, etc

Updated to 14.3 and notifications are still not working. I do not get ringtone, any vibrations and no notifications appear on Lock Screen even though I restarted the phone twice and double checked that everything was on. The only way I know I received a text is because my Apple Watch reports it.

Just to throw another variable in this problem. My problem persists, though a little better after 14.3 with missed notifications. In addition to the general no notification (no sound, lock screen banner, etc.) Is anyone having issues with the volume controls also which leads to missed notifications due to no sound?

For example if I am playing an app that is a game and turn the sound down with the side buttons (iPhone XS) it has intermittently been turning my notification volume down as well once I leave that app. This has never happened before the last few weeks. Sometimes I am not able to turn up the volume again unless I force quit all my apps. Otherwise, the side buttons won't adjust the ringer (and notification) volume and just the "app" sound volume. So I am left with no sound for notifications or lock sound etc. iOS 14 is what is going to make me get rid of Apple products. Its insane this isn't fixed yet.

Thank you for replying. My iPhone 12 is updated to 14.2.1 and I don't see a new "silent" tab under the text information. I also am not hiding alerts for these texts. I may need to call Apple...but there goes an hour of my day! :D

I just upgraded to iOS 14.3 on an iPhone 12 mini and have the same issues. No sound, badge, banner, Lock Screen notifications for most apps like 3rd party email, social media, news, etc. So it’s not just the Messages app. It’s nearly every other app.

Whose bright idea was this. A feature? So having to open my iPhone and open messages to see if I have any message is a feature? When we are out shopping and need to get back together to go home I'm supposed to check my iPhone every few minutes to see if I have a message?? Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Yup, so aggravating. I've left a complaint and am going to call them next. Maybe if they hear from enough of us, they will do something about it. If this were a cheap phone, I wouldn't be so bothered, but I just spend a good amount of money on the 12 and this is not acceptable.
