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

And to add clarification this only happens with the device locked on SMS messages. If the device is unlocked everything is fine. If the device is locked it works if I get a text from other iPhone users. If bluetooth is off it works all the time for SMS. So it's something to do with bluetooth, SMS and the device being locked.

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.

Just an update: if I sign out of iCloud I can get it to work fine. The instant I sign into iCloud it goes from working to working sometimes and not very often. Again, my Wife's 8+ works fine. Also still if I turn off bluetooth it works fine. So it's either sign out of icloud or turn off bluetooth. .....or got back to Android.

Is it possible that everyone having notification issues with their iPhone 12 Pro Max also owns an Apple Watch? I ask because I get notifications on my phone but do not have an Apple Watch. I did reset to factory settings a month or so ago, FYI. Why Apple hasn’t addressed this makes me livid.

So I signed into the iCloud on my phone with my Wife's Apple ID but used mine for Messages and Facetime and everything is working thus far. Whenever I sign out of iCloud using my Apple ID everything works. So it seems like it's something there but who knows. This could break again in an hour.

Im having same issue. If im using iPhone it goes off. If iPhone face up on couch no notifications. Wtf apple? Git yo **** together i left droid for this? And im ****** i have to wake uo at 330am to text my job im sick with droid i cud schedule the message night before and sleep. Text will gonoff at scheduled time. Catch up keep up apple. Cutlass with the beat up buying pounds so no we

cant piece up

I don’t always get a text tone alert at times I have been to the Apple Store twice Verizon Wireless store where I bought the phone at least 6 times

I have a fitbit and sometimes get the text on it Sometimes get a text tone alert tone

But nothing often Have changed SIM card Any thoughts / suggestions/fixes ?

Couple things to try but they are not "fixes". Turn off Bluetooth and try it. Also try signing out of iCloud. You will need to make sure you go into Messages and FaceTime and the AppStore and Music to log in with your Apple ID but do not sign into iCloud. It's stupid but whenever I am signed into iCloud with my ID it hardly works. But if I log into Messages, FaceTime, etc., with my Apple ID but log into iCloud with my Wife's ID it works just fine. Honestly I will be going back to Droid. This was my first iPhone since the iPhone 4 came out and I have had it for 4 months and am ready to dump it.

Same issue here as others. Using iPhone 12 pro max with iOS 14.6 installed. All notifications are enabled, do not disturb is not active, have reset phone at least 10x's in last month. My company iphone11 notifications work as they should. On my iPhone 12 I miss calls, texts everyday as there is zero alert. Both phones on iOS 14.6.

Apple? Are you listening??

My 2 month old 12 mini with 14.6 recently stopped giving text alerts. BUT if I restart my phone, it works a again for a bit then gets fainter & fainter & then stops until I restart again. No sound in text alert settings either BUT ringer works in real life & in ringer alert settings. Seems crazy I know but it’s become an ongoing issue that only restarting seems to fix (for a short time). Really hoping next update addresses these issues!

Iphone 12 Pro Max. Tried all of the suggestions. Bluetooth, checked and toggled settings. I also have an iphone 12 Pro that actually works. Mirrored those settings. Reset the phone. Nothing works. Apple ... we have a problem.

If I had been made aware of this fact, I would not have bought an iPhone 12 promax. I paid over $1000 for a phone that does not let me know when I am getting a text. It is extremely frustrating and is making me really hate Apple

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!

I had the same problem for months tried every setting found there is a tiny tiny switch above the volume buttons on the side of the phone that turn silent mode on and off. Notifications sounds are back!

It has been a year since this issue was reported to Apple. Is there no fix? My iphone 12 mini bought July 2021 has had haphazard sound notifications at best. I don't change any settings and all of a sudden I get a few sound notifications, when just a few moments before-nothing.

Sound is on, turned up, sound alert notifications are on. I do not own an apple watch. Bluetooth on/off does not fix this nor do the lack of sound alerts have anything to do with my laptop imessage being open/on/active on my laptop (this was never previously an issue with desktop + phone on older models).

Please help this is ridiculous for a new phone. It has all the latest updates.
