iOS 15.1.1 - not receiving text message notifications

I might have been experiencing a different issue. But I was able to narrow it down to TWO contacts that I wasn't receiving notifications for and once I looked further at their contact info somehow "Hide Alerts" got turned on for them. I have no idea how this happened or if I even did it. I hope this helps someone out there. :)

I had this issue and found out that in each individual text tone setting, I had turned on “emergency bypass “. When I turned this off, I was able to get notifications again.

contact-edit-text tone-emergency bypass “this is at the top of this page”

make sure this is turned off.

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

Thats right , I have suggested this workaround to many apple and the notifications start working right after they delete focus , deleting Focus and set to ON the schedule summary then select the immediate delivery works on my iPhone since iOS 15 then I create my focus thing again and everything works normally

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 🤯

Check Settings > Face ID & Passcode > [Allow Access When Locked] Notification Center

"Allow Access When Locked in Notification Center" has been on. All was peachy, the problem didn't start until they introduced Focus in iOS15. No Badges, no alerts. Disabling all Focus settings since the app itself cannot be deleted.

is apple monitoring this I have been having same issue since updating to iOS 15.2 very frustrating I have done lots of troubleshooting to no avail......

Please Apple solve this issue before I go back to google phone.....

Has there been any update to this issue? It seems I only receive notifications from certain people. I haven't figured out the relation though. But I do not receive notifications when my phone is unlocked and in use.... super frustrating.

Wait a sec - @Ozzie1910 posted something about "focus". The notifications not being announced did not start happening until I used the focus setting for the first time. It's no longer on and I only ised it once - but I think that's when these issues started happening. Just a thought!

Is there anyone who knows anything about a possible resolution to this? Is Apple trying to solve it?? It seems like this has been a problem for a very long time now. At least I get notifications on my watch...But when the phone screen is locked, the only thing that comes through is a call. Very frustrating!

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…
