iPhone 12 not getting notifications

I am having issues with receiving YouTube audible notification alerts. My screen wakes up and I can see a banner on the Home Screen of a pop up but there is no sound. Other apps seem to be fine. It is most definitely a bug that is causing the issue. Hopefully the upcoming update will fix this.

Agree it’s not fixed the issue. I was hoping me being logged into my iPad Air was causing the issue but I’ve switched off the notifications on in there and it’s still causing an issue with no audible alerts for any YouTube subscriptions

How is there not a update to resolve this issue yet. No notifications when connected to any Bluetooth device 🤦🏻‍♂️ Brand new phone and a major issue like this. Joke

So Triga23, does that mean you do receive all your notifications if you turn Bluetooth setting off? You on iOS 14.3? (I'm just so tired of changing settings and trying to see what combination of things "might" fix).

Yup that is correct. I no longer where my Apple Watch and don’t connect my phone to anything Bluetooth and I get my notification. I updated my phone last night and still no change when connected to my watch. I notifications on phone

Thanks! So sad to me that I only recently bought Apple Watch Series 6 (my first Apple Watch) and it's looking like I'll have to abandon it in order to have my iPhone work). My current workaround has been to keep my iPad mini nearby, because the Notifications that don't get to my iphone do pop up there!

Just got done talking with Apple support on this problem. After updating the iOS to current, I had to uninstall / reinstall and do a fresh login on the ones that were not giving me notifications on the Lock Screen. Seemed to solve the problem. GMAIL was the main one for me, and this fixed it.

Same issue here on 12 Pro Max (14.3).

Notifications only work for apps that do require logins (although I had to re-sign in).

For other apps no push notifications at all, e.g CNN, BBC, Sky News

Text messaging is ok.

SOLUTION TL;DR: Open and close every bloody app on new iPhone 12 and notifications will start.

SOLUTION: Hello All. I can't be sure that there aren't DIFFERENT problems that we are experiencing, but I had this exact problem and I fixed it. FYI calls to Apple and TMobile did NOT provide a solution.

WHAT WORKED: Having done a backup on my IPhone 6s, I then turned on my iPhone 12 (let's call it Classic) and used the blue cloud thingy to get one to talk to the other and downloaded my 6s backup to my new 12 phone. I got phone calling and text messaging to work and, interestingly, all my voicemails DID come over and did NOT delete. All my apps came over as well BUT no notifications showed up.

To get notifications from Apps after confirming that YES notifications were turned ON for all apps, I had to OPEN AND CLOSE EACH APP INDIVIDUALLY and then slide up HARD from the very bottom of the screen to the TOP which will give you access to all the still open apps, and slide each screen up to make sure each app is actually CLOSED. (As you know just tapping the screen to "close" the app off the screen does NOT CLOSE THE APP. ) A few apps that required log-ins did require me to log in to the app to make sure it was me and then notifications ensued. In many cases the passwords had already been saved in my old phone and the new one gave me access to my saved passwords, often after checking my FACE ID.

I went to bed and woke up to a slew of notifications.

NOTE: at this point I had NOT signed out of the Apple ID or deleted anything on my old phone, so what I did was to put them side by side and see what notifications were on my OLD phone and NOT on the new. This let me then go in to those apps and reopen and close or sign in and hopefully those will now show me notifications from now on.

This absolutely worked for me is all I can say.

I did the same when I transferred to my iPhone 12 from a 10s. I get all my notifications as long as my phone is not connected to anything Bluetooth. As soon as my phone connects to my Apple Watch it stops notifications coming to my phone. Turn blue tooth off and I get notifications again. No issues. But this is also happening on my wife’s iPhone 11 so it’s not a iPhone 12 issue it’s a software issue. Joke it’s not been sorted

Thank you for this. I haven't attached my Apple Watches but I did use a bluetooth speaker earlier today and ... I think I got a notification or two when it was on but I'm not sure. Thanks to your pointing this out I will keep an eye on this when I add my watches. As I noted, I was kind of afraid there were more then one problem happening here. Alley

Hi,

I'm facing same issue I'm not getting any notification from gmail app even some of the other apps. I have reset my all setting done with everything but still same issue. Can anyone tell what we can do to fix it.

Does anyone know of Apple plans to fix this? It’s not just annoying- I was just discharged from the hospital for the second time in 2 weeks. I must be able to communicate with care givers! I’m on oxygen for pneumonia- this glitch of theirs could be fatal.

As far as I can tell they don’t care about the glitch. It’s been going on for ages now and no sign of it being fixed. There will be thousands out there who don’t use other Bluetooth devices with no issues but people who don’t are the ones with issues.

This is getting ridiculous. We’re all having the same issues. If I have another app open or if im listening to a pod cast it doesn’t beep/make a text noise and doesn’t show any texts. If I open up someone’s texts there will be a new one in our thread. This is nuts.

I don't understand why the Apple experts didn't just say: "You have to reload every application on your new IPhone AND log in to EVERY application to receive notifications."

One line answer--that's ALL you need to know. I saw the apps on my new phone but got no notifications. It took me a few hours to figure out how to make it work.

So why did Apple experts refer us to a page about how to set up the applications??
