Good Morning Screen randomly not showing

Hi all.

I like my Good Morning (or Afternoon or Evening) screen on iOS/iPadOs, but I am going crazy trying to understand why sometimes it is there, waiting for me to dismiss it, and sometimes it does not show at all.

Background: I have iPhone, iPad and Watch all on the latests version of OS. I have "Do not disturb" enabled and "Bedtime" set to the same time the iPhone exits "Do not disturb".

When I wake in the morning and the phone exits "Do not disturb/Bedtime", it takes a while for me to look at the phone (say 10-15 minutes or more). Some days, the good morning screen appears with the dismiss button and stay there even if I unlock the phone and lock it again. It is clearly waiting for me to press the dismiss button, I think Some other days, with apparently no reason at all, the screen does not appear at all, in exactly the same situation, as if "someone" has already pressed the dismiss button! But why on earth????

Also, on iPad only, when showing, the weather is not showing even if the permission is granted in Settings.

Any one else experiencing the same?

Alex

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 12

Hey there alex178ita,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand you’re not seeing the Good Morning message appear every morning. We’ll be happy to help.

Though this feature does appear as part of Do Not Disturb During Bedtime, do you have this set to occur every day? You can select which days this is active. Take a look at this article for more info:

Use Bedtime to track your sleep on your iPhone

Take care.

Also, beside my reply yesterday, the Good Afternoon and Good Evening messages are not appearing any more on both devices. On Watch, instead, the Good Morning message appears every morning after exiting Bedtime. I have read somewhere that Do not disturb must be turned on automatically through the option in schedule when Bedtime starts and also that in Settings the Do not disturb starting and ending time should match the Bedtime, which does not make sense to me since Bedtime can be different depending on days of week while Do not disturb can not. Anyway, putting them the same does not trigger anything at all. At least when Do not disturb was later than the end of Bedtime it was appearing randomly. I am attaching screenshots of current config in case you have any hint. Thanks

Thanks

Yes, I will do that. Thanks for confirming that the set-up looks correct. Just one last question: when exactly does the good morning screen disappear? It was there a couple of days ago, this morning was not. Is that triggered, for example, by the fact that you receive a notification after exiting do not disturb/bedtime? Or you run a shortcut through a home pod? Or it simply disappears after a while?

thx, Alex
