iPhone 12 Pro Notifications with no sound or alert of any kind

I set up my new phone however I don't get any notifications to create a sound or haptics when I receive them. I've reset my settings after getting frustrated, restarted the phone, made sure to select sounds for each notification, set the notification preview to 'always', made sure it's not on mute and the volume is up yet I can't get my phone to tell me that anything has come in until I look at the home screen only to find i've received a bunch of notifications.

I get calls on the phone just fine but texts, discord, emails, etc. NO notification that anything has been received. I've spent hours pouring through the settings and nothing helps.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

I’ve been having this same problem and it’s incredibly frustrating as it doesn’t notify me that I’ve gotten a message. I wouldn’t even know I got a text unless I go on the messaging app directly and check whoever I was texting to see their response. I’ve gone through all of the settings and made sure everything was set and turned on yet still nothing.... Apple please fix this!

There is a tactile switch above the volume buttons on the left side that switches left to right. Took me a month to figure out

Turning off Bluetooth worked for me- but I also have an Apple Watch. This should not be our permanent solution!

My iPhone 12 plus is doing the same thing. Ugh!

No offense, but with TWENTY-ONE pages of mostly frustrated complaints, I doubt the solution is as simple as the mute button. Has anyone tried wiping their iPhone clean then restoring from backup?

Do you have Apple Care? If so contact them. My case has gone to the next level Apple Engineers. If they can't figure it out, Apple will be sending me a new phone.

Ended up fixing it by resetting my phone. Hopefully it lasts

My iPhone 12 is not sounding when I receive a text message. Everything else does sound. Please help.
