No Messages notifications after update to iOS 14.2

Hi.

Yesterday I updated my iPhone XS to iOS 14.2. Today I noticed that since that update, I’m not receiving notifications from iMessages and normal SMS’s in Messages app. New messages arriving but there are no sound or plate, not notification number over an icon too. Messages appear and are marked like a “read” already. It’s very frustrating since I heavily rely on text messages and need to track app by myself to not miss any messages. Sometimes notification appear but mostly there are no sign of new message

I have Apple Watch too and there are no notifications there as well. Only messages appear in conversations.

Any idea what’s the reason of that and where can I search for a fix. My phone is nearly unusable now, since most what I’m doing is texting.

Thanks.

iPhone XS, iOS 14

I’m using an IPhone SE and what worked for me was to long press on each individual contact in messages and turn on “show alerts” the update temporarily turned them off. Mine are working now. Hope this helps :)

Same here, my husband and coworker too. We are all on 12 Pros, 14.2, and ATT.

Very Frustrating.

Yes to the typing delay also - I thought that was just me. Also not getting text notifications.

yes I have been having a typing delay problem as well. Also my keyboard won’t pop up sometimes but I can still type it’s just invisible. Very strange.

There’s no 14.2.1 for iPhones older than 12 (like 11, XS etc.). This update was released exclusively for 12 line of iPhones :(

This has been happening to me too, I’ve had a case with apple for a few weeks while they try and look into it

I had a case open earlier in the year. Somehow it fixed itself but has started again.

Sadly, this is what Apple is now.

Been having the same problem the last few days ever since I updated to 14.2 as well. I go look at my messages hours later and realize I missed a bunch of messages that are hours old.

I am having the same issue. Hoping this is fixed soon. Super frustrating not know you received text messages.

Dec 9, 2020 5:06 PM in response to Caladean

Same issue for me. Very frustrating--proper notifications for messages shouldn't be something at issue in a new update!! Cmon Apple...
