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.

iPhone 11
I've also been fighting this notification issue for months on my iPhone 11 Pro. Apple no help. I discovered that turning off bluetooth on my phone fixed the problem (allowed text notifications to sound and appear, whether the phone was locked or not). But with bluetooth on, notifications only sounded & appeared with the phone unlocked. Obviously, I didn't want to leave bluetooth off all the time.
I also came to realize this issue started when I got a new Apple Watch 6 a few months ago. Coincidence? Taking the watch on and off didn't help. And with the watch on, it didn't sound notifications either.
But the posting from StubbornPixie got me thinking about killing the mirror function on the watch for the Messages app. So, iPhone Watch app>Messages>"Custom" "Notifications Off" seems to have SOLVED THE PROBLEM for me. My iPhone 11 Pro now notifies me of incoming text messages with bluetooth on. I realize my watch won't ping with messages until Apple fixes the root problem, but at least I won't be missing message notifications altogether.
Hope this helps others.
This is a horrible feature..while I’m using my phone I am missing some very important text messages pertaining to my business..very very disappointed in Apple for this
I do not like this update. I rely on my notification to alarm me while on a call with my text because i do business on it. I need this back on asap. This is not ok
That sucks... tremendously
I have the iPhone 11 Pro Max and I only get a text notification if I have phone open. Also doesn’t ping my Apple Watch. Very frustrating. Missed a really important text and that should not happen!
Really??? I will try this and see if it works... but you are right .. that is really crazy to have to do just to get it to do something it should already be doing... 😒
I did this a few days ago & I do have banners for texts & phone calls but not reminders, emails, etc.
I am a blind user. Why did they take away the tone and hepatic notifications from messages. We rely on these notifications more than those who can see. Not cool, Apple.
Exact same thing is happening to me- I never get notifications of messages from my husband. Started when I updated to iOS 14. Tried talking to apple about it and they just stopped responding.
Nothing has 100% solved the issue on my phone.
I’ve tried all the different fixes and none of them has worked for me yet. This is so annoying!!!
I have this problem too!
Can you elaborate on where this is? I went to a real text, a new text & to messages yet I don't see what you are describing. Are you using an iPhone or Android?
This is my exactly my issue. When I am on the phone using my airpods, I no longer hear when a text message or any other type of message comes through. So annoying!
Since installing iOS 14.1 I no longer get text messages to my iPad
I have updated my phone today. the notification problem still exists on my phone with 14.2 :(
