Delayed notifications

I’m having the same issues, even did the unpairing then wipe then pair again.

I don’t know about others, but I’m also getting 3 notifications on my watch for one text message that I read the first time, and it keeps coming through, thinking I have new messages. Not sure what to do. My phone an watch are both are up to date on software updates.

I just got my first iPhone and I had this exact issue. Even exchanged it for a new on within the return period. Same issue again. Sometimes I don’t even receive FaceTime calls. I also get the “phantom notifications” where two mins later I again get notified of the same notification I already got.

And like everyone else, I get notifications not at all or delayed, especially for iMessage. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t and it’ll finally notify me after five mins and it will indeed also say “5 mins ago” on the notification.

it has also happened where it said “delivered” for a message and the persons I sent it to never got it or mins later.

Thank you for your suggestion. I tried it, removed all widgets, but I am still getting delayed notifications unfortunately. I have noticed this for iMessage, Mail, and Gmail so far. I still get the notifications a few minutes later.

I have the same problem. Notifications open the light screen but the sounds come 5-10 seconds later. Also camera and video are opening really slow. I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max. Apple support didn’t find something in the device and this is still happening and is really annoying!!! Someone find a solution?? I have the latest update on apps and software too

Well , I have the same issue , and been “accidentally” doing this. When I arrive home I forget to turn mobile data off so it’s always on with WiFi ... but the notification issue still persists... I have no idea what to do at this point , I have a iPhone 11 Pro Max , this issue has been here since I bought the phone in 2019 ... what can I say .. I got .. used to it -_-.

So uhhh... Is there a fix for this yet..?

I've been reading the replies and I see some as recent as march 2021 and I've also been having this problem since I bought my 11 pro max in feb of 2020 😅

I'm sure it's not the internet or the app because I have the exact same apps on my old android phone with the same accounts and the same internet connection and that phone never fails to ring on notifications.

And yes, I logged them all off my old phone before I realized this was a problem with the iPhone. My family members have been having this issue as well. They've been on iPhones for over 5 years now and they thought this was an isolated issue before I brought it up lol. I mean are the users not making enough noise for the devs to fix this problem? 😅

I never touched my badge settings so they are on. I’m pretty sure most people in this forum have tried resetting settings as well. Whenever I get a notification on another device like a Pc, I always wait for the iPhone to beep just to see how long it’s delayed. On a lot of instances, the notification will not pop up unless I open the app, wait a few seconds for the app to “connect to the internet” and then it updates the notifications. It doesn’t feel very good having to constantly open your apps to check for new messages. That’s what notifications are for 😅

these apps are also kept on background refresh so I don’t see the problem

If you don't touch this part, I believe the default settings are off. Mine have always been off and I am having this problem. :/

Honestly I made the switch to iPhone over a year ago and THIS is is ONLY issue that's making me carry an extra android phone with me. Apple if you're reading these for any other reason than to filter out unwanted posts, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS GOOD fix this problem T_T

I want the freedom of having the confidence to just bring one phone at a time T_T

I m having the same issue. Fb msgs pop up after 5-8 minutes and the calls are also not connected on time. Even if i m uaing the messenger i get missed calls after 5 minutes and the phone doesn’t even ring. 🙁🙁🙁

so Glad you mentioned “phantom notifcations” I have experiencing this since about October time last year with phantom fb messenger sounds and phantom default text sound called “note” which isnt even my chosen text tone. It is however my and most people’s WhatsApp tone. But when checked no message or notifications to follow the noise being heard. Wasn’t sure if ios 14 issue or what’sapp or fb or Apple in general :/ people think I’m paranoid because I’m like that wasn’t my phone because my screen is black . So it’s not even just when my phone is open and unlocked.

You may be right, but I don't have an apple watch. I always have my Bluetooth completely off. Sometimes when I'm using the phone, I have to open the app to get the notification. But I hope you are right, buddy, because I'm so close to buying an android phone just for the notifications :(

I hope it really is the watch or no dual notifications thing, too. But I use a Samsung smart watch and I get notifications at the same time between them. so if my notifications are delayed on the phone, they are delayed on the watch as well. I also don't think this is what's causing it because one time I reformatted my phone and did not pair it to the watch for a few days to make sure it wasn't it, and I was still getting delayed notifs. I kinda got used to needing two phones but my android phone has REALLY bad battery life and dies before half the day is done. carrying two phones AND a power bank is not something I wanna have to do 😅. Honestly the ONE thing that's keeping this from being my only phone 😅

you community specialists always give the most non-helpful advice. If notifications are coming late. Why would the style of notifications change that? Ive never seen an apple specialist give a good real answer. Always something very general. Never specific to the problem

Did you ever find an answer? I am having the same issues with delayed notifications or none at all. I have an iPad (7th gen), iphone 10, iphone 12.

Notifications have never worked on my 12 or ipad but they worked on my 10. I use both phones all of the time for different things, I typically have them both and it never really bothered me. Mostly laughable that my 10 would get instant notifications and my 12 would not get them or get them hours later. I also occasionally get notifications spam. 50 email notifications all at once. Sometimes when I open the actual apps - it works most of the time it doesn't.

I made the mistake of up restoring my 10 and since notifications do not work.

Both phone were originally on sprint sim cards- 12 has been updated to tmobile.

Ipad is wifi only.

Everything has been done- resets, restores, carrier settings, individually turning notifications off restarting, turning back on. DND/battery, deleting/redownloading enabling push from app.

Every once and while it annoys me enough to where I scour the forums hoping someone has fixed but at this point, nothing has worked.

Today, I got an apple pay notification at 230pm est. This transaction occurred on Wednesday at 830am est.

I finally called Apple, at the very least, theirs shouldn't be delayed. Honestly, Apple people were great, suggested that I erase my ipad and start over with a new appleid. I did and the problem persists. 3 devices, 2 differnt OS and 2 differnt appleIDs have the issue. Gentleman said he was baffled. Anything I missed? Anything else I can do?

Now that my 10 doesn't give prompt notifications...I'm hating this.

12 never worked on sprint sim recently updated to T-Mobile sim. 10 was working on sprint sim - still on sprint sim- but only WiFi (no plan on 10) stopped working after a restore. iPad also wifi only does not work. I’ll try to put my old sprint sim in to test but 12 never worked - don’t think it will do anything- let you know.
