Phantom notifications, every day, at the exact same time, repeatedly.

Title says it all, every single day at 9:15 I get a phantom notification with no banner/badge/new notification icons.

It will sometimes repeat every minute for 3-4 subsequent times, and then will do this again an hour or two after.

I've checked the settings for any notifications that only have sound, none. In fact I even went as far as disabling the vast majority of them, leaving only those which I know leave a badge along with the sound.

I've checked for calendar events, nothing.

Same for alarms.

Basically checked everything and I'm going nuts.

iPhone 11 Pro, less than 1 year old.

Anybody facing the same issue?

Cheers

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 14

Hello Sam,

Thank you for the clarification of the issue you're having, and verifying that there are no government or emergency alerts that may be causing that issue. The next step would be to get you in contact with Apple through the Get Support website.

Take care!

Hello samzamor,

Ensuring notification is working as expected on your device is important, and you've come to a great place for help help. To ensure the best support is provided can you clarify upon the notification type you're receiving? For example are you hearing an audible notification or a vibration? If you're hearing an audible notification have you checked your emergency alert settings?

You can verify those settings using the article About emergency and government alerts on iPhone and Apple Watch

We also recommend updating to the latest iOS version if you haven't already. You can find the steps for updating in Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

If you're updated, and unable to identify the notification you'll want to contact Apple through the Get Support website.

Have a great day!

Hello,

I do not have a Government notifications options in "Settings > Notifications".

All my devices are updates.

To answer your initial question, I get both a "Chimes" audio notification AND a vibration (if the phone is put on silent, it will only vibrate) every single day, at 9:15am PST on the dot, And then 3-4 times more every minute after, then randomly through out the morning hours.

No badge, nothing, just the sounds+vibration.

Going crazy here

Thanks

Sam
