iPhone 8 message notifications not appearing

Hi there, after messing with my date/time in my phone, I am no longer receiving message notifications from any of my contacts. After they send me a message, there is still the red 1 at the top right corner of the messages icon, but no notifications or noises. I’ve already checked all settings for this and can’t seem to fix it. I’ve also deleted the message threads and it still hasn’t worked, please let me know what to do. I am on IOS14 if that changed anything.

iPhone 8, iOS 14

Hey Ihaveaniphone8,

We understand that you're no longer receiving notifications for the Messages app. You've already tried a few steps, but the issue persists.

Since this started when you made changes to your date and time settings, we suggest going back in and making sure this is now correct. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time, and make sure the Time Zone is correct, and you have "Set Automatically" enabled.

Even though you have checked the settings, we suggest re-checking them using this guide to make sure everything is correct.

Use notifications on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Be sure to disable Do Not Disturb if it's turned on.

Also, you should make sure that you're using the latest version of iOS, which is 14.7. Use these links to learn how to back up, then update.

Keep us updated, and let us know if that helps.
