iOS 15.1.1 - not receiving text message notifications

I am not receiving text message notifications on my iPhone 12 Pro. I have been to the Apple store to no avail.

I have reset phone, wiped it and started from scratch and it still continues. When people text me they get a notice that my phone has messages silenced, but when I check my setting, they are not silenced. I have also disabled “Focus” “Do not disturb”/

On a side note, I do get the notifications if I have the phone unlocked and the screen is being viewed.

Ok for all you guys this workaround works for me and many people I have suggested, first off all delete all focus you can create them later , then in notifications settings turn on summary , don’t set it up anything there , back and in every app turn off/on allow notifications just to refresh the settings then in the options select immediate delivery, do this in all your apps , create focus after that don’t use personal focus allowing apps just allowing people note: don’t changing adding more things in summary leave it like that after turn it on

I just wanted to let you all know that after some trouble shooting I got notifications working again on the phone but you’re not going to like it.


Notifications work properly when all your other Apple devices sharing those same notifications are switched off. I turned off my watch and MacBook. Then it worked fine.


Not a fix 🤯

It does appear that if you have too many Apple devices notifications become erratic so maybe I’ll get rid of a few Apple devices to get my phone and Apple Watch text notifications working properly ie Mac book , iMac , iPod and two iPads…..it’s very frustrating to keep having this issue and Apple doing nothing about this….bummer…
