Hello,
I just updated my OS to the latest version yesterday.
My friend’s OS is also updated. For some reason, We always get this message “has notifications silenced” on our message thread even:
anyone else experiencing this? Attached is the screenshot.
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
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.
I am having this same issue! Everyone says my texts show I have notifications silenced even though I do not. 😡
Go to previous response by braindead mac
his solution worked for me step by step in structions
Very helpful! Thanks!
My Childs iPad no longer says notifications are silenced (they weren’t) but it freaked me out that it indicated she wasn’t getting my texts!
Airplane mode for the best nights sleep ;)
(...and battery savings!)
Yes i am having the same issues after the update. Can someone help ?
Awesome, kudos for figuring that out. My wife is a doc as well, and we were pulling our hair out over this.
OMG THANK YOU 🙏 I have been dealing with this for months and couldn’t figure it out for the life of me!!!!!! You rock!
Thanks so much! I’ve been struggling with this for weeks!
If you disable Share Across Devices, each of your Apple devices will require you to enable/disable Focus settings.
Best to enable this setting and set Focus once for all devices.
Thank you!! I also receive a lot of work-related texts and don’t need anyone thinking I’m taking a siesta. Im so appreciative for this übercomplicated fix.
You need to go on your Mac settings and under notifications and focus turn off “Share across devices” on the focus tab.
I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to write this out. It helped immediately and was counterintuitive as you said! But it did in fact work!
Didn’t work for me.
Anyone else have a suggestion?

Anyone with this issue, the instructions by sekakemp work perfectly
Finally - this worked! Even though it makes absolutely no sense why. Hope they fix this in the next update!! Thank you!!
What does “Notifications Silenced” mean on iPhone
