iPhone 12 not getting notifications

Hey mickeddie,

We see that you're not getting any notification on your new iPhone 12, and we'd like to help!

Please double check all the steps that are offered from the article here: Use notifications on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Be sure to also check out the bottom section that says 'If you don't see notifications for a specific app' for additional steps.

Let us know if this helps!

Warm regards.

I called Apple and they said to Reset all settings. This will reset app passwords, wifi, background, etc. I'm going to try it later to see if it helps, but definitely frustrating that even has to happen for it to work.

Thanks but that doesn’t make sense at least for apps such as Nest and others where you sign into the app. The notification should go to any device where you have the app installed, are signed into the app, and notifications enabled. For example I still receive notifications on my iPad but not on my new 12 Pro Max.

Not quite sure I’ve never had an android but like some people have mentioned I did also have success by opening each app you want notifications for and re-logging in if necessary… I found almost all my apps wanted me to login again

Also I found it extremely helpful as far as the notifications go especially to my Fitbit to scroll down to messages and make sure they are on persistent instead of temporary which I was surprise mine were on as default.

I have the Apple Watch and was having the same problem with my iPhone 12 pro max. Messages would not notify me if the phone was locked. I finally found my solution in the Watch app/ notifications/ messages/ and changed (allow notifications) to (send to Notification Center). Now it works.

Its not just me going crazy!!!!! I also cannot receive my notifications on fb messenger. I have a business and last time i had a client outside waiting for 10 minutes because my phone didn’t alert me. With my old iphonex it always alerted me HELP!!!!

Again the only other thing I can offer is to make sure notifications are turned off on your previous iPhone as well as clicking on each app you would like notifications for, I found most of them I had to re-sign in without face ID… I know like somebody said this is a brand new expensive phone and should not have these problems and I couldn’t agree more.

Well I can’t figure out what the heck to do because I had an Android and I reset it and am still facing this issue and for me it is only Facebook marketplace crap. I have logged in and out hundreds times and even reinstalled twice, no change. Even reinstalled the app back on the android and was getting notifications. So bizarre! How could one thing be an issue only on the iPhone 12 series and Apple asked me to call Facebook!

Hello we own a cell phone repair shop, we are noticing this issue a lot with iPhone 12, 12 pro, and 12 pro max. Including with my personal 12 and my wife’s 12 pro max. Notifications are not working. I will receive a text and never be notified, or a message on Facebook, etc. I am hope there will be an update soon. All the settings of the phones I have looked at including my own have all been proper. Matching exactly what our other iPhones had. I checked customers phones and their setting were also proper. This is not a user error. This is a software issue.

This is exactly what is happening to me. I get mixed results when opening individual apps. But not even the messaging app notifications are working correctly. Phone unlocked. get notifications as expected. Sound and vibrations. Phone locked. I get nothing from messaging app. It's frustrating for a brand new 1k phone to not work correctly fresh out of the box.

bought iPhone 12...was getting notifications, yesterday all notifications in iMessage and Facebook Messenger stopped. Email notifications all stuck, open the phone and they come in all at once.

£800 phone and don’t get notifications? As with everyone else, checked all settings and all are correct. Notifications fine on watch and iPad but don’t carry iPad about with me and shouldn’t have to on a nee phone. #helpusouthereapple

Yes! not getting notifications on my watch either. And... even tho my watch is set to 12 hr time (am/pm) it reads this but when spoken back to me it's in 24 hr time!!!! This is so screwed up!

If apple doesn't correct soon, phone going back!

I get notifications....but that’s all it says. WhatsApp Notification

Facebook Notification etc

not a brief intro of what the message is or who’s sending it. It just says notification. Seems to occur in Lock Screen. Also wouldn’t let me type in passcode last night after restarting. I literally had to hit each number multiple times before it would register the number. Hitting the number the little dot on passcode digit lit up, but then went out again. Like I say, multiple times before it registered each digit & finally unlocked. Also speaker making funny sounds when notification sounds ping through. Super loud or distorted. And having issues with swipe to unlock working. This is my first Apple without a home button so put it down to unfamiliarity, but with all these other issues, I’m beginning to think my phone is glitched. 😔

Same problem. Iphone 12 pro not getting notifications for iMessage. This just started. Worked great up until a couple of days ago. Frustrating. All settings are correct problem may have come with 14,2
