iOS 15.4 notifications not working

I have an iPhone 12 Pro and just recently, I stopped getting text notifications . When I am in the text app, I can see that someone has sent me a message, but I don't get notified.


I am on iOS 15.4 and have tried the following


  1. Restarted the phone - no luck
  2. Turned the volume Up
  3. Reset the Network settings
  4. Made sure the "mute" was not turned on
  5. Notification setting is on
  6. The "Do Not Disturb" is off
  7. The "Do Not Disturb" Driving is turned off
  8. Looked at the setting for favorites, the "Show Alerts" in on "shows a bell"


Any other suggestions?

this was driving me crazy!

I went into messages via settings and noticed in the area “allow messages to access”, “Focus” was toggled to on. I turned it off then texts notifications and ringtone worked. I then went to Focus via settings to find do not disturb was ticked then was turned on…. Not my doing, was done via update - thanks apple!! Hope this helps someone else.

I'm having same problem. I checked every setting including Notifications, Do Not Disturb, Silent mode button, Message settings and Sound & Haptics to make sure notifications and sound levels were on. I even did a hard phone reboot. I have not "Reset All Settings" or "Erase All Content and Settings" since I don't want to lose my information and apps.


I think some of you said your problem started when you updated to iOS 15.4 but I'm on 14.8.1 and I have same problem. I'm using iPhone 12 Pro Max.


Good luck everyone, hope we get a fix soon!

I bought Iphone 13promax 256gig (Alpine green) 15.4 version and I have issue about not getting notification when I am using data. If my phone was connected to wifi all apps are working fine and Im getting notification. I came from Iphone 7plus so I knew what is do’s and donts. I tried everything to fix the issue but it still not working.

I'm having the same issue with a new phone. No notifications from anything except Gmail when the phone is locked. Sadder is that I've found posts about this issue dated a week ago. Shows that Apple thinks critical services like notifications of messages require no sense of urgency to fix.

I've tried every suggestion in this thread and many others from this forum and none of them have worked.

So after reading these - I realized I am not the only one facing this issue. Either notifications on phone or watch ; not both. I am one of those ppl who would love both working back again to send notifications. If apple is really catering to people who want either or option then they should come up with a toggle button choice of both or one . Really frustrating to miss so many notifications .
