Hey there, nmparson!


Thanks so much for using Apple Support Communities.


If you're not being notified of incoming messages, there's a few possible reasons why that might happen. Before anything, we'd recommend that you update your device to the latest version of iOS available: Update your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch


Once you're all up to date, if the notifications issue is still happening, let's make sure that Do Not Disturb isn't enabled: Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch Be sure that you also check your ringer sound volume, which you can do in Settings > Sounds & Haptics.


We hope that this information is helpful.


​Have a great day!

I have the same problem. I have the latest version of iOS, 14.6, I have made sure my Do No Disturb isn't enabled and I have my phone silenced but it should vibrate when I receive a text. I have clicked the Allow Notifications but nothing happens. Please help. This is making me crazy. I really need to get notifications when I get a text message. Thank you!
