Hey there sagarshah1983,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. To get started, have you ensured that all the settings for the apps are set up correctly using the 'Related Article', Use notifications on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support that was shared on this thread?


For this particular issue, we'd recommend ensuring that you have a notification sound selected for the apps you're not hearing notifications for using the steps under the "Change alert styles " section.


Change alert styles
1. Go to Settings and tap Notifications.
2. Select an app under Notification Style. 
3. Under Alerts, choose the alert style that you want. If you turn on Allow Notifications, choose when you want the notifications delivered—immediately or in the scheduled notification summary.

With iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 or later, you can turn on Critical Alerts for supported apps so notifications come through even if your iPhone is muted or you have a Focus set up.


If still having issues, we'd also recommend checking for any Focus features that may be enabled and preventing notifications from being received as expected. For help with checking your Focus settings, check out this next link here: Use Focus on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Keep us updated on the results.


Have a great day!

Tried all of the above, still no sound. my husband & I just upgraded to iPhone 15 Plus. He ALWAYS gets his sound notification when he gets a text (message). I NEVER have. I want to. We compared settings and they seem to be the same but I don't get the sound on messages or calendar or any app. So now what do I try? When I swipe downward from corner, I see Sound is turned completely on BUT it has the bluetooth insignia next to it. I think I should be hearing the sounds in my hearing aids since they are always connected. But, again, I don't get any sound notifications! Help.

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 had my iphone 8 yes iphone 8 loved it never gave problems untill I dropped it in the water. I so did not want to spend 1000 on a new phone but I had to iphone 14 pro max. I have only had a few months and like everyone my kids text me I don't hear any messages coming through. I've had emergency text messages I don't receive untill hours later. Paid way too much money for this phone to have problems already. If you can't fix then offer a discount or partial refund or replace this is bs

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 exact the same issues, my iPhone 15 Pro with iOS 17.2.1, sometimes doesnt make notification-sounds.

this happens totally random, with different Apps.

i have called Apple Support as well, they have checked all standart sound settings but could not solve this problem.

and the have simply closed my ticket without solution.

if this is the way how Apple Support works, we will never get a solution.

btw. I dont understand, why this issue has more than 2100 „me to“ votes, but only 24 up votes….?

While there is at least one person with a genius-level IQ (that I know of) who regularly posts in these forums, Apple doesn't. They also don't read here for feedback or suggestions. So, beyond whatever catharsis it affords you, yelling at Apple here won't accomplish much.
