Delayed notifications

I'm on IOS 14, and this also happened when I was on 13. The notifications on my phone are not working and are delayed by sometimes as much as 5 minutes. If someone calls me on FaceTime, it rings for them but my screen doesn't even turn on. Messages sent to me are delayed, on imessages and WhatsApp as well.


Do not disturb is off

Notifications are turned on, all settings.

Bedtime is off

Reset networks settings

Reset my phone once but restored from a cloud backup

Reset all settings


Any help will be extremely appreciated.

iPhone 11, iOS 14

Guys i found a fix to this problem.

I’m using iPhone 8 Plus on 14.4.1, i just did a reset all settings. After that reset, the notification works as it should. And then i changed the keyboard settings in my phone then the problem comes back. After minutes of trying to find the culprit, i think it’s the character preview.


  1. Go to settings
  2. General
  3. Keyboard
  4. Turn character preview to on


This fix it for me, please report back if your problem fixed too!

I suggest make a erase all content and settings and DO NOT restore your backup from iCloud/iTunes.


This helped me reduce the number of times delayed notifications occur, it still occur but much less often.


Meanwhile, I also have a support case open with apple and I am waiting for a solution, I hope that this Sunday they will give me some answer as agreed.
