What does “Notifications Silenced” mean on iPhone

Apple? Same problem here. Can we fix it or could you acknowledge that it’s being fixed on 15.0.2

I just checked the settings on my Apple Watch and sure enough, Do Not Disturb was strangely set to turn on everyday at 9am to 5pm. Thought it might be the double top secret fix but alas, it is not.

Airplane mode for the best nights sleep ;)

(...and battery savings!)

My wife and I both have identical iPhone XRs with identical settings. When I text her, I get the "xxx xxx has notifications silenced" message. BUT, when she texts me, all is well, and she doesn't see the same "notifications silenced" message. AND, sometimes, I get a "Delivered Quietly" message along with the "notifications silenced" message. Then an option appears that says something like "deliver anyway". I click on that, and she receives the test and notification and sound. AND, sometimes, the text comes in WITHOUT a sound, or the default sound, or the custom sound she has set up for me.

What's up? Solution please.

Came here looking for a solution to this. My wife's phone is doing the same thing where it shows the silenced notification for her contacts in their messages app. Toggled all the focus stuff off in both the focus and messages settings but didn't help. Went through and individually turned off the "Share Focus Status" on all her contacts too. Please fix this bug.

I am having the same issue. Started today. I have the message on my phone. Other person doesn’t have it. I did one update about a week ago to 15. Haven’t done the second one because, frankly, I’m afraid of what else will go wrong. It’s only doing it with one person but they are getting my texts with sound and notifications and I am getting theirs. The update I haven’t done yet is 15.0.2 apple fix this.

Me 2…my wife and I both have the phone13 pro max it always says my wife has her notifications silenced when she does not. She even turned her send focus status off and still same thing. Makes me think she isn’t getting my messages. Apple needs to fix asap or I’ll be returning the piece of **** that riddled with glitches and problems

Omg yes!! I am having the same issue! People are thinking they cant text me cause i’m taking a mental break. It’s seems like such a small thing but it is so annoying. Yes my phone isnt on ringer but it is on vibrate. I have checked other people’s settings too and there’s are the same but they dont have this issue.

Having the same issue. Fiancee's phone telling others her notifications are silenced but Focus is off and DND is off. My phone is not doing it. Both on iOS 15.0.2. Hopefully 15.0.3 will fix it!!!!!!!

I am having the same issue my my 12, daughter xr and hubbys se. All saying silenced on imessge when they have not . We have tried all the recommendation on here and i have even been in to the Apple store and no luck . It needs sorting

And no offense at all jtempesta, I greatly appreciate your reply and acknowledgment that it’s affecting you too, but some people truly rely on this and it’s an important feature, we ALL just want it to work correctly and not when it shouldn’t and in the middle of the day.

Same problem on my phone. I turned off Focus being shared across all devices on all my devices. Still having the same problem. Odd bc when my wife texts me it shows on her phone I have notifications turned off. When my daughter texts me it does not show this on her phone.

I am experiencing the exact same issue. I recently upgraded to an iPhone 13 mini with iOS 15 from the 11 pro, and every time someone on iOS try’s to text me it tells them that I have notifications silenced. I do not have them silenced and I receive them as normal. What is going on?

This doesn’t work. It is now Nov 11 and this bug is still happening. My husband just updated his phone to 15 and now on his thread it shows a moon and name has notifications silenced. I keep having to push notify anyway just to message him. It’s very inconvenient since we text back and forth while he’s at work.

Nov 17 and still no fox for this bug. Is becoming more and more annoying!! Apple please fix this, so many people are experiencing this and it’s causing havoc! Had previous iOS updates but still no fix for this…
