Find My alert on iPad will not play sound

When I use Find My to alert my Ipad - a screen alert comes up and I get an email alert, but no sound alert plays on the IPad. I have checked the sound settings and everything seems to be ok. When I move the Ringer and Alert slider i can hear the sound. Can anyone help?

Set Allow Notifications to OFF - then close the Settings App.


Next, force-restart your iPad:


  • On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
  • On other iPad models: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.




After the forced-restart, reset your Notification settings.
