iPhone 12 not getting notifications

I am having the same issue. We bought three new phones for the family and not able to get notifications on any one of them. All notifications settings are the same as what was on the old phones and looked at the article that was attached to previous posting. Please help. Thank you

I have tried all the steps listed in the above article and I'm totally frustrated! I get a couple of notifications but not nearly all of them. I know what ones I should be getting because I had to turn on my old phone to get them! I'm also having trouble receiving text messages on my new 12 Pro. Please help!

Exactly same here. New iPhone 12 pro. Only certain apps not working with notifications. I’ve checked all settings and individual app settings and they are all correct. Very annoying as some are important.

I have recently got the iPhone 12, but I am getting no notifications when I’m not using my phone? Such as when it’s locked or charging etc. My notification settings are correct and I have checked each app to see if notifications are turned on (they are) but still nothing??

please help. phones to expensive to be throwing in frustration lol😂

Just a little edit to add. I asked my wife if she was updated to iOS 14 on her iPhone 11 Pro and she is but does not have this issue even though her DND and Solence settings are the same as mine. So it seems it isolated to just the iPhone 12’s which leads me to believe that this is something related to new hardware in our phones.

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

iOS 14.2.1 has NOT solved this problem. Many popular apps are still not receiving notifications (but some are!) which leads me to think this is an iOS issue (API??) - not an app issue. V14 is still a hot mess of iCloud sync issues as well.

I see Apple was aware of this issue over a month ago and no responses since. We have tried all of the troubleshooting we can do on our end. It is a huge bug that needs to be fixed BY APPLE. I just got my new iPhone 12 pro max yesterday and have had a heck of a time figuring out which apps aren’t giving notifications. We have checked the settings. We have reinstalled apps. We have reset settings. Some have even done a full restore and set up without their backups. When can we get an acknowledgment at the very least that it is an issue you are working on?

This sounds very similar to problem I'm having with iPhone SE (original, iOS 14.2) and new Apple Watch Series 6. I posted my problem in detail in the Using Watch thread - basic issue is intermittently do not get Notifications for texts on either my iphone or my Watch (but they come through on my iPads, both new and ancient). So now I'm thinking the problem is with the iPhone. Today I spent over an hour and a half on the phone with Apple Support, no resolution (end of the session was that I should wait for 14.2.1 update and see if fixes and if not call back. Agent had me restore my Watch to New (wiping out all my data); that didn't fix. Too weary of this to go through all the details, some already posted on my thread in Using Watch thread.

My focus has been on interaction between phone/watch, but seeing posts here, seems like it's just the phone (and iOS 14.2). I had no problems until recently though, like only a couple weeks

I had a similar problem yesterday got a text message on my watch but it didn’t show up on my phone. Apple has some serious issues with iOS 14 all you can do is be patient and wait for a software update. By the way Apple support is somewhat useless. Almost always they will tell you to erase and re-install and almost always that’s not the fix.

I was told yesterday that Apple are releasing new software in the next few days, all we can do is wait and see and hope it fixes all the problems. I’d say it’s. Wry likely that it’s a phone software issue, and not the watch. Unless you have a cellular watch all of the notifications etc are passed through via the phone. I have my watch set to Mirror my Phone for notifications. I’m certainly doing nothing more now, like you, all my problems started a few weeks ago, maybe coincidentally when I bought the new phone. It cold we’ll be that the software somehow isn’t getting along with the newer phones and watches.

Definitely NOT your new phone, since I'm having same issues with my original SE (old!)

I'm REALLY disappointed in Apple Support that when I spent over an hour and a half on the phone with them yesterday the agent was not able to find any information such as you all have posted here. So many people (thousands on this forum, and at least some have opened cases; Apple support people should have been provided this information. I was addressing from the Watch perspective, hadn't considered my phone was the problem (but I should have, just that the Watch was new for me and so I assumed was that). So, at first I only was looking on the Watch thread of this Discussion forum.

A problem this widespread should at the very least be known (or readily available) information to Apple Support Staff. I'm not blaming the agent, am assuming they have a database to search for known issues and the person would have done that

I had a watch series 6 working perfectly along with my old 11 Pro, my husband has my old phone, also working perfectly with his series 6 watch. What I now seem to have after multiple reloads is notifications for email mostly (but not always) appearing on the lock screen with sound, unless I’m wearing my watch, in which case I’m getting notifications on both, but no sound! Unless I use the Gmail mail app which is working perfectly. My SMS problems seem to have resolved themselves too, and thankfully, the phone is now backing itself up. It’s so hard to pin down likely causes, and wastes such a lot of time. It felt as though I had sync problems with iCloud and the phone was set to DND all the time. At least I now have a £1000 phone which is functioning reasonably normally, had I had any idea what a pain this was going to be, I’d have stuck with the 11 Pro! Let’s hope it’s all resolved with software updates, best advice for the moment I think is just to wait, the more you change things the worse it gets.

I’m having the same issue. How can this be resolved?
