Hey SonoraFrank,
We understand you're not getting sound alerts for the Mail and Messages app when the screen is locked. Start with making sure "Sounds" is enabled for those apps: Use notifications on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
If you continue to have issues, make sure your iPhone is up-to-date: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Take care.
Hi SonoraFrank,
To confirm, you're getting sound from the Mail app? Is the Messages app now getting alerts as well? If not, we suggest toggling the Sounds option off and the toggling it back on.
Take care.
Did as you suggested. It seems to be working. I have done this in the past. It worked for about 2 days the back to no sounds. It will interesting to what happens of the nest few days. I will let you.
All my devices are up to date. Message and Mail notifications are on. Side the email with the link did pay the assigned tone.
thanks for taking the time to respond. It is greatly appreciated.
Toggle massages and mail or is there a way to toggle all sounds?
Hi SonoraFrank,
For each app, go to Settings > Notifications > app name > turn off Allow Notifications. Afterward, turn it back on. Let us know if this helps.
Take care.
Back to no sounds for Messages or Email. At this point I have given up. I will just have to learn to live with the problem.
