iPhone 14 Notifications / text sounds not working¡

Mine is doing the same thing and I am supposed to start using my iPhone with my Omni pod this is getting annoying. I miss calls and everything. I need my phone to ring in when on Lock Screen. Only get sound notifications when my phone is active.

I miss most of my text messages I see them hours later. I miss calls because my phone won't ring. I have too constantly keep an eye on my phone when waiting for important calls or text messages. This needs to be fixed or replace our phones. Charge up the *** for this phone but doing nothing about this.

Yes same here, purchased iPhone 14 Pro and have never been more dis satisfied in a phone. 5G DOES NOT WORK, that is the biggest lie ever told, save yourself money and frustration. Second notification alerts all the same when and if they even work. I refuse to call apple back after spending countless hours on the phone with them only to be treated like I have never owned a cell phone before. I am seriously considering going back to my iPhone X as it was the BEST phone I have ever had and take this 14 Pro and see how many pieces I can smash it into. Biggest waste of money and JUNK I have ever seen. I will NEVER buy another apple product as this is a joke !

I have been experiencing this for 3+ years. I’ve spent well over 80 hours with Apple trying to troubleshoot. The best I got was someone to admit it wasn’t working as expected but nobody can explain it. Totally inconsistent. I’ve setup new phones without carrying anything over and still it happens. PLEASE FIX THIS GENIUSES!

My wife’s iPhone 14 stopped iMessage notifications with her alert tone. It only allowed hapatics. After several unsuccessful attempts to check all settings, I decided to look at this forum. As one commenter reported, when I left her iPhone on with the screen on, and placed a call, the alert sounded. This was the first time I heard the alert. I then shut off the screen, and called again, and this time the alert tone came through. I believe, there’s some kind of iOS glitch happening, causing this widespread problem. I hope Apple support fixes it.

Despite "the volume buttons will not affect the volume of the ringtone and alerts," if the volume is turned off with the volume button my text alert will not sound. Haptics are set to Always Play, volume in settings (Sounds & Haptics) is up full.

I think I just figured it out. I’ve had this same issue for awhile and Apple support was no help. I turned off “background app refresh” (pretty much just cause Ive tried everything else short of a factory reset) and I’m getting my text notifications now! Hope this helps you guys out as well!

I tried this.....unfortunately, it did not work. The only luck I've had is turning off bluetooth as others have stated, but that's not a long-term remedy as the functionality is nil when you have an Apple Watch & iPhone, or any other third-party bluetooth needs.

I may have found a temporary fix. realized today by accident that if you wear your watch but do not enter the passcode ( on watch) the sound notification comes through on your phone. message still appears on watch without sound.

did that make sense? does it work for you?

maybe a temporary fix. put my watch on today and didn’t enter the passcode. next text I received I did get a sound notification on my phone ( iPhone 14) and the message popped up on watch as well without sound. worked for two separate notifications

before this vibration on watch, no sound notifications on phone or ipad

This has been driving me nuts. I went to settings > Sounds & Haptics, I looked at the Text Tone option, since I was no longer getting text tones, It showed "doorbell" which was my selected tone, however after opening the text tone option, "none" was selected and doorbell was nowhere to be found anymore! IDK what happened to it, as it's still possible to select doorbell for other things such as mail. I then went through all of the options and noticed that the selected sounds for several of them were defaulted to "none". Come on Apple, get it together!

I don’t think so. I keep the Apple Watch turned off ( just don’t enter the passcode), that way text sounds come thru on the iPhone. they will still come through on the watch without sound and you will still receive phone calls. you will need to enter the passcode if you want to do something else on the watch but it’s not that big a deal. it saved me from missing messages

Thank you Tavaras98 I'm trying your suggestion for Text sounds not working..As I'm not computer or iphone literate. You were more help than the YAHOO at the TMoble store who are suppose to be Phone techs
