iOS 15 Messages Notifications Not Working

Exact same issue as everyone else who has posted here. No notifications in iOS 15 on iPhone 12 Pro Max for major main apps such as Messages and Spark mail. Changed all recommended Focus et. al. settings as detailed by Apple's recommendations ON to OFF back to ON, tried the Siri Announce ON - OFF trick and that didn't work either. Clearly this is an iOS 15 bug. Notifications continue to provide haptic feedback on Apple Watch so at least I know to look at my phone to read them.

I am having the same issue. I have tried the fixes after OS 15.1 update and they don’t work. Even worse now my phone does not connect to my cars USB plug in for audio. It will charge and I can make calls via Bluetooth. My car unfortunately does not have CarPlay so I cannot have audio (music, podcasts, and audio books) playing through my car stereo.

major OS 15 bug. When will apple fix these?

Having said that, I just fixed my email issue by going a little deeper into email notifications. I went down to the "Customize Notifications" section & "Alerts" was turned off for all my mail accounts. Turned them back on & now works............

Update: it only worked momentarily. Only iMessage notifications seem to go through. For all other apps I have to open each app individually to see notifications/see the red notification circle. I updated to iOS 15.1 and this has not fixed the issue. Really frustrating.

I have an iPhone XS

Same issue of for the last week or two. I thought it was an issue with my Apple Watch but noticed that the same thing was happening on my iPhone 7 - No haptics & no sound on either device. Tried everything posted here to no avail. What's crazy is that other apps such as Weather & Dark Skies are providing notifications with sound and haptics but mail and messages don't 😩 it's driving me flipping bonkers!!!

I've seen Apple "scripted responses" in other threads but clearly there's an issue that needs addressing & I'm not spending hours on the dog with an "expert", I've had a number of those "experiences" already, (one lasted over a month 🤨 & was never fixed).

OK, this is seriously screwed. It's obviously a bug in ios15. How was this pushed out to users without testing? And why does Apple feel it is good customer service to put out a list of 20 possible suggestions of things to try which might work. Just fix it, please!

Seeing the same issue. No alert, no notification. Just a badge on the Messages app. Tried toggling announce notification, changing focus modes, different alert. Work a few times and the stops. Very aggravating.

I have been involved this week and last in a long sequence of attempted workarounds with Apple Support. All failed.

I just took a callback from someone at Apple Support who said she had discussed the problem with a senior manager. The manager had told her that the lack of sound, flash and haptic alerts for some users' SMS/Text Messages was a known issue and that iOS engineers were "working on a fix for release and update as soon as possible".

We'll see.

Having this problem as well. Had Apple Support on the phone for 2 hours last week. They commandeered my phone and went through all of the settings, recording photos of the settings and doing whatever troubleshooting that they do. By a stroke of luck I texted this phone from another iphone and lo and behold, the text message was received with no notification while the Apple rep was monitoring it. If that doesn't open their eyes that there's a problem, nothing will. All the info has been forwarded to their engineering dept and they're supposed to contact me when engineering gets back to them.

I got the same reply, that engineering was working on it. Right now my messages are working, but mail notifications don't work unless I go into the app. The flash doesn't work, either.

How long does it take to fix a totally vexing problem?

I have spoken to 3 reps, and a supervisor, who told me that it was a known problem.

Exactly, I'm almost at the point of giving up on Apple if a fix doesn't come out very soon. I see that Norman Harper went through the same thing that I did with Support last Dec 17 and still nothing done. I always had Samsungs prior this iphone 7 plus and never once had an issue. Maybe time to go back to them.

I've never had another issue with my Iphone (s). I sure hope a lot more people complain. If I could find the president's phone # I would call him directly. My grandmother always said that if you want something done, go to the head and not the a__.

Yeah, you'd think something would have been done in 3 weeks. Very aggravating.

I take it back!!! It worked for about half a dozen times and now for the last two tries there were no notifications again!!! Now I've pretty well come to the end of my patience. Thanks for nothing, Apple!

My text messages seem to be working, but I have to go into the mail app manually and download there.

Thought the new update would be the charm. I agree, kapster4040, thanks for nothing, Apple.

Does anyone else have trouble with the mail?

This has b en happening to me for what seems like several iOS iterations. Switching from a “classic” alert doubt to a more current one seemed to work for a while, but it has stopped offering alert sounds again. I’ll try today’s patch, with low expectations.
