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

Turning off the Bluetooth, in settings fixed the no alerts.

Is the Silent button disabled ( red ) next to the volume up/down buttons on the side of the phone? Click it down to green...

On iOS 14.3 still has the same problem. Turning off the Bluetooth is the only thing that makes it work.

There is a button on the left hand side of the phone that flips up. It’s right above your volume buttons. This should solve your issue.

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

Just to troubleshoot.. try turning off the Bluetooth on the phone, have a text sent. What's the result ?

I have the same issue, iPhone 11 Pro 14.2 no text alerts with Bluetooth on, connected to iWatch 5 44mm

I have Do Not Disturb activated on my iPhone scheduled for 9 pm to 7 am. It seems like the silence never shuts off the watch.

So I turn off Bluetooth every morning turn it on and text message alerts work till the next morning... ?idk? : /

I spoke with an Apple engineer about this yesterday. Apparently if you have an Apple Watch, all notifications (and sound) will go to the watch but not both. I honestly didn’t even realize this but then I tested this and yep, I am getting the noise notification to my watch but not my phone which irritates me because I swear it did not use to be this way before I got the iPhone 12 Pro.

I've been watching this thread with amusement for the last several week, it goes absolutely no-where and it's obvious no-one reads complete threads. Two months ago I spent over two hours with two techs from Apple Support trying to diagnose this issue, I was bumped to an Advanced tech that confessed it is a known problem and the engineers were looking into it. it (posted that info two months ago) happens to 12 owners who own an apple watch and do not own an apple watch, with phones locked or unlocked and with Bluetooth on or off! I myself do not, on occasion, get a ring tone when called. To this day notifies are sporadic. Very disappointed that Apple has not resolved this issue.

That BBC didn’t belong there. I was dictating that outside the Apple office and the speaker was on and it picked up the BBC.

These are the steps. On your iPhone open up the Apple Watch app. Then scroll down to messages. Then check customs and check notifications off. This turns off notifications for messages going to your Apple Watch. If this is left on the notifications go to your watch first and your phone will not make a sound. This causes the text to activate your phone and not your watch.

I out my apple watch in the other room, I turned IM off, rebooted, turned IM back on and now I’m getting sound notifications when texts come I think Apple needs to come up with a fix for this in their next update.

For those that aren’t getting iMessage alerts on their phone and have an iwatch, turn notifications off through your iwatch app/messages and notifications work like they used to on your phone.

I would rather have the louder phone alert than a haptic tap on my watch.

hope this helps.

Dear Apple users,

I was having

problems with receiving text notification for texts from my daughter.

I looked online

and found several articles blaming this on the operating system, and thought

that this must be it.

I tried calling my carrier AT&T, who had me do a number of things, but to

no avail. AT&T told me to call Apple. I called Apple and explained my

problem to them.

I get text notifications from other people, but not from my

daughter. I checked my contacts (Edit) and the Default sounds were shown Calls

and Texts. (I do not use these settings at all).

I checked and my daughters number was not blocked. It took a

2nd call to Apple, and speaking to a supervisor to find out what

should have been obvious to support agents from the start.

Unknown to me, if on the text contact in the text home

screen, one swipes left, icons come up. The bell/sound icon should have a slash

through it (yes, the agent said, backwards). If you click on it to not have the

slash through the bell, you have turned off text notifications for that

contact.

A small, barely visible icon will appear to the left of the

contact in the home text screen when the notification is turned off. I don’t

know how this setting got changed (I didn’t change it), but it is changed back

now.

Perhaps many of the other users out there are experiencing

the problem that I had, and what I described above is their actual problem..

I recently purchased the iPhone 12 and within a week it happened to me. No sound on iMessages. What I saw was all my text messages suddenly had the grayed out crescent type moon icon on the left of each message. Somehow Apple turned on DND on my messages. I didn't. If you see the icon, tap and hold, a window will pop up. If one of the selections has "Show Alert" tap it. That fixed it for me but I had to do each text message that way.

I had to totally restore the phone and start from scratch to get this to work. If I used a backup it would not work. I did notice if I had my Contacts turned off in iCloud it worked as well as having bluetooth off it would work. Also if I was completely signed out of iCloud it worked but my Wife then couldn't text me very well. I am still loading apps and such so not confident yet. Very frustrating.

I have been able to fix my no text notification…it was related to my iWatch…go to iWatch app on phone select notifications, then scroll to messages, next deselect mirror iPhone and select custom, then deselect allow notification and select send to notifications center. Now getting alerts on phone and watch! Hallelujah!
