iOS 14 text notification issues

Now THIS is something up with which I will not put! LOL I absolutely HATE MS!! I have never managed to solve a problem with their issues in any areas! Ugh!! I’m glad I’m not alone.

This is not a solution to me. This is a workaround of proportions and hoops that I’m not jumping through to make a simple notification work again. Appreciate you sharing but it not at all clear on how to set it up nor is it even something we should have ro remotely consider to get this resolved.

According to what the link shows that is how shortcuts work. It's like anything else you do, a couple of times & you can do it w/o thinking.

I know when I receive a text, email, calendar, reminder alerts so I'm all good now.

Do you already have shortcuts? I'm assuming you do if you have the icons w/custom covers.

I don't think it's a work around. If you read any of those 2 sections there is some pretty neat stuff. You do have to think how the action will work but getting the hang of it I think you will realize you can use the shortcuts in a lot of ways. If you already have a shortcut for a icon or widget then it's just 2 more steps for the notifications.

So update- this happened to me when I was changing the date and time for candy crush. It was only one contact that couldn’t call me when my phone was locked and I wasn’t getting any notifications for texts. I tried all kinds of things, turning on all location settings, restarting my phone, messing around with the time and date. I read one post on here that said it was fixed when the text thread of the person was deleted but I didn’t want to do that because I had I lot of info in the text thread. I did a basic reset and that didn’t fix it. I ended up doing a factory reset and when I was asked to use my iCloud back-up, I was offered two dates: yesterday, and last week. I chose the one from last week as I wasn’t having the problem then and so far it’s been fixed!

This seems like a very specific issue to why you’re not getting notifications. I feel this thread is focused on workarounds for those that are just simply not getting notifications in general, not as a result of changing our date/time in a game.

Ok so my issue is that while I’m on a call my phone doesn’t vibrate or ding with sound alerts. It’s like everything is muted. And it’s ******* me off. Is anyone else have these issues while on a phone call?

Having the same issue with no sound notifications when receiving messages on my Pro Max with 14.01. This is pretty basic stuff that $10 burner phones don't have issues with. You would think a $1200+ phone could handle this.

Same. I tried everything I could find to fix it and no luck. It is really annoying bc I need notifications from my parents or otherwise while I’m calling. I need to hear the noise to know it’s there. Otherwise I won’t realize and I will forget to respond

I wouldn’t do a,full factory restore s i did that didnt work either so it’s their update to iOS 14.0.1 thats bad. I called support they said would be getting back with me today and helping out but still no notifications

I just updated my iPhone 11 to the 14.0.1 this week and since then my phone no longer notifies me of text messages either. It’s made me miss important messages from work and has been a massive headache. I tried all “fixes” and nothing has helped. I hate this and thinking I should change away if there isn’t a fix, and I’ve been a loyal Apple user for ages now, but I can’t keep missing messages.

If anyone finds a fix, please share!!

It was stressful deleting some of my iMessages with family but I deleted everything, did a hard reset and appear to be getting alerts now. Hope this resolved the problem because I missed an important text this morning.

I have rebooted. Turned off all notification and back on without resolution. I’m not getting notifications on a work or personal phone. I’m missing key client pandemic related work,

I hooked both to my MacBookPro and downloaded and installed 14.0.1. When uploading them directly didn’t work I tried the cable|Dongal|cable

i reverted back to 13 for brevity whilst this is sorted out.

I had same symptoms of no longer getting notifications/sounds while in lock screen.

All notifications/sounds came back after powering off my apple watch and rebooting my Iphone.

There must be some improper interaction between the Iwatch and Iphone regarding notifications.

Hopefully this problem gets fixed SOON !!

Hopefully Apple support is monitoring these discussions ?????

It is an ios 14 / 14.0.1 issue. Update the OS to 14.2 beta and the issue goes away.

All the other methods like restoring the phone, changing back ups, etc do not work. The OS is buggy resulting in this issue.

I've gone through every single possible solution until I upgraded the OS. Problem went away immediately.

I am running 14.2 and I still had the problem. As I said in my post, if I powered off my watch and then rebooted the iPhone, all seem to work OK until I powered up my watch and I started having the problem again.
