iPhone 12 not getting notifications

I’ve done the same set up instructions and also have done the update. Still no notifications when the device is locked. Unlocked they show up no problem. Wild a $1200 phone doesn’t give you the notifications like you need.

When I set up my new phone, the notification settings from my old phone didn't migrate over. I had to go into each app and setup up the notification request (it's usually located on the settings tab). That solved the problem for me, I hope this helps.

I was having the same issue. Open each app you want notifications from, you may need to sign in or authorize notifications. The apps I opened on my new phone started sending notifications. a couple I deleted the app and reinstalled and it worked.

I updated to iOS 14.2 an am still having this issue with certain apps. All of my settings look to be correct to always show notifications. Can Apple please help with this? This is a pretty significant bug....

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.

Please call Apple support and register a case. That’s what I have done on Sunday and since then they have been looking into it. They have fixed Instagram messaging somehow and I think the Apple engineering team is working on it. Would be great if everyone called and register the case. That’s the best option

I believe I have found the solution, at least from my iPhone 12… After you go to settings then notifications make sure that you exit out/delete notifications going to your former iPhone… When I went to notifications and scroll down a little bit I saw my iPhone XS was still the beneficiary of all of my notifications...Please let me know if this was helpful I hope so!

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.

Do you still currently have your old phone? If so turn it on and then see if it pops up under notifications… Also if you haven’t deleted all of your data off it yet leave it on and see if the notifications go to both phones or just your old phone

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

BTW I also was on the phone with Apple support while doing this, not sure if that changed anything but if you have the time I highly recommend everyone with this problem to call them because now for whichever reason I get all my usual notifications.

Honestly I’m not quite sure what they did for me which is why I recommend speaking with them, they asked for my IMEI number then told me to go to notifications and I’m not sure if they did some thing but suddenly it showed my old iPhone X E as still active and receiving all of the notifications, which it was

I had this issue on my iPhone 12 Pro Max since I got it last Friday and it was driving me nuts. I even tried the two public betas of iOS 14.3 to see if they fixed the issue (nope).

However, prompted by some comments on this forum, I changed some settings on my other phone on the same account and lo and behold, on now get notifications for iMessages on my new device.

Some detail: I have a work iPhone (an 8) which I have logged in to the same account as my personal phone (to access media, etc). Subsequently I can choose to receive messages to either number on either device. I had my personal phone set to only receive messages sent to my personal number/email and my work phone set to receive both work messages and personal ones. After removing the personal number from the work phone, my personal phone (the 12) suddenly started getting notifications/sounds for messages sent while locked (whereas previously it only worked if unlocked). It’s possible this might work with other devices on the same account (iPad etc) if set to receive on the same number as your iPhone 12. Not ideal, but worked for me.

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.
