iPhone 14 Notifications / text sounds not working¡

Tavares98 posted a fix

Same for me, ever since I had this phone 3 weeks ago, I have tried absolutely everything but still don’t get notifications when I want them but as soon as I unlock; I get bombarded by dozens of notifications that should have come when I didn’t need to use the phone. Still no sound though and all settings are correct but I have no longer and option to change the sound

I absolutely agree it needs fixed or replaced. I’m sick of having to monitor my phone for calls. I missed an important call twice this week. Ridiculous

I think I may have to go back to android. I never had so many issues as I have with this iphone.

Mine hasn’t worked since I bought it brand new!

I have had the same issue. Apparently Microsoft teams set my status to DO NOT DISTURB! That explains everything. I wasn’t getting team notifications on my laptop either.

iphone 14 pro max- if my phone is on the move - whether i am walking holding it or driving, there is no notification sound. however, if my phone is kept on the table, i get the notification. i do not see any option to have notifications ON when the phone is in motion. any help ?

I’m having the same issue with my iPhone 14pro max. I’m not getting any audible notifications nor audible haptic when typing. All my settings are correct so many bugs with this phone makes me wish I hadn’t upgraded.

Yep same here iPhone 14pro running latest iOS, upgraded and running all the same settings as my XS… yet I cannot get messages to make sound when my phone is locked. I actually thought I was imagining it for a while since there is clearly nothing wrong with the speakers if it makes sound when unlocked, it’s so so frustrating!!!

Ive also had an issue with notifications not showing after the banner disappears (was never a problem with the XS which was running iOS 16 before I upgraded).

I also had issues with Siri understanding me on the new phone, where old one was fine. Downloading another accent of Siri voice was the tip that fixed that, then changing back to the usual one.

My Apple Watch series 8 also does a thing now that my series 4 never did where if I raise my watch and say “hey siri” my phone that’s across the room will ping instead, but then not be close enough to properly hear me, but most times the watch just doesn’t activate at all. And yes, all the settings are on, I’ve done multiple forum deep dives to try to fix this issue and all the others.

also finding the reception on the 14pro is terrible and no matter what settings I do for the camera it comes out AWFUL. Like really really bad. Way too much contrast, heavy darks, dark whites and way too warm or cold. Nothing helps. It looks great at first then 2 seconds later it’s like it loads properly and goes a different colour.

I waited so long to upgrade, and a huge apple fan, and this is the first iPhone & watch I’ve had where I really don’t think they’re very good at all.

I was having this issue also and it seems to have sorted out after I turned off the haptics.

Hi tysm for working at this amazing company and giving us the Apple community and our devices a better future. Also you should use that in a ad promo “Giving you, our wonderful community and your state of the art gorgeous devices a better future.” Have a great day!

Seconded, the camera issues are still not fixed and this is the entire reason I upgraded from my iPhone XS. The camera on that old thing was 100 times better! I’m seriously so disappointed. This is not a cheap phone and it’s clearly software related bugs especially with camera and photo processing. The photos are absolutely garbage. Worse than phones from a decade ago. I actually can’t use them without heavy editing and even that doesn’t take away the worst of it.

waaaaay high contrast, way more warmth even than apple is “known for” and photos are so colourful people look wrong. Especially indoors, it’s like using cheap nasty social media filters.

Hi. Yes. Just got the iPhone Max Pro and although the notifications are sounding, the sound level is way too low. Paid a lot for this phone. In fact I’ve used Android forever and finally made the switch. On the whole it’s a great phone, but I can’t seem to get the notifications to a level that’s productive. I’ve discussed this issue with Apple employees and at this point I’m hoping an OTA fix is en route or else I’ll have to head back to android.

Has anyone gotten Support to fix it? Tried all the fixes listed in this thread, but none worked. It appears everyone who has reached out to Support isn’t getting a fix either. What’s up Apple - when will you fix this? Might want to start selling 13’s again if you can’t get things to work with 14.

I got mine fixed today at the Apple Store! Two things- 1. Phone won’t ding if you are wearing your watch paired to your phone. Either turn off Bluetooth or put your watch on the charger (or turn it off) and it will work fine. 2. Turns out I had a vpn on my phone and it was causing issues. As soon as we took that off then my notification was audible! I hope this helps you!
