Phantom Text

I received a text alert from my friend who has a different ringtone than everyone else but when I went to check, there was no message. I powered my phone off and my battery changed a lot (from 21 to 5 and then back up to a random number). How do I see the text?

(I have no other alerts to this sound. Only this one person.)

iPhone 7, iOS 14

Random Tritone alerts I realize this was asked and answered but it didn’t allow me to comment, so, here I am. My phone is set up and has been forever to alert me tritone only on my text messages. Recently it’s been phantom alerting me and I have been in notifications and stopped all sounds except phone and texts, and others that have their own designated ring tones. This is annoying and it won’t stop! Please tell me there’s something else I can do. Thanks.

Strange behaviors on my iPad Hello 👋 I noticed that for several weeks my iPad has been having strange behavior. It emits notification ringtones while no notifications appear. This happens when I use my iPad and even when it is on standby. It's quite strange and I can't determine where these ringtones come from. To be honest, I was afraid when I learned of the flaw that made it possible to execute code remotely from an application or website. Seeing that my iPad model was affected and that I was slow to update, I was wondering if it was possible that I was the victim of this flaw and if so, how can I check it? Thank you in advance 😁

Your battery symptom means that the battery is failing. Use the get support link at the top of this page to have it evaluated.

Perhaps there was another app that has the same ringtone?

But your battery issue is more pressing. What does it say when you go to Settings/Battery/Battery Health?

No. This friend was the only one with the ringtone. My battery is at 95% maximum capacity and it is on optimized battery charging.
