iPhone Pro 14 notifications not showing or making sound on Lock Screen

My phone will not show or sound any notification when on Lock Screen. Notifications will sound and show when the screen is active. I have checked Settings>Notifications also Sounds and Haptics, also checked Focus... After checking everything I found out that the Notifications will work only when Bluetooth is turned OFF but I can't keep it off...

Anyone having the same issue?

Apparently it turned out to be a feature as expected.

All you have to do is to disable wrist detection from watch app.

I had a similar problem. My notifications would show on my locked screen but without sound. Like you, I would only get sound if I turned Bluetooth off which was not a viable solution. This is what worked for me:


Go to settings, message notifications and turn Allow notifications OFF. Then shut your phone completely off for a few seconds. Turn your phone back on. Go back to settings, message notifications and turn Allow notifications back ON. You should now receive sound notifications with you text messages even on your locked screen (as long as you have the Lock Screen alert notification setting checked also).


I hope this helps.

Hello luciene10,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

We want to help get the notifications showing as expected, even when Bluetooth is enabled.

It sounds like you checked the settings already, but let's use these steps to ensure they are correct:


"Change notification settings

Most notification settings can be customized for each app. You can turn app notifications on or off, have notifications play a sound, choose how and where you want app notifications to appear when your device is unlocked, and more.

  1. Go to Settings  > Notifications.
  2. Choose how you want notifications displayed on the Lock Screen:
    • View just the number of notifications: Tap Count.
    • View the notifications grouped into stacks by app: Tap Stack.
    • View the notifications in a list: Tap List.

When notifications arrive, you can change the layout by pinching the notifications on the Lock Screen.

3. To schedule a notifications summary, tap Scheduled Summary, then turn on Scheduled Summary.

Select the apps you want notifications for in your summary, set a time for delivery of your summary, then tap the Back button at the top left. (See schedule a notifications summary.)

4. To choose when you want notification previews to appear, tap Show Previews, select an option—Always, When Unlocked, or Never—then tap the Back button at the top left.

Previews can include things like text (from Messages and Mail) and invitation details (from Calendar). You can override this setting for individual apps.

5. Tap an app below Notification Style, then turn Allow Notifications on or off.

If you turn on Allow Notifications, choose when you want the notifications delivered—immediately or in the scheduled notifications summary—and turn Time Sensitive Notifications on or off.

For many apps, you can also set a notification banner style and turn sounds and badges on or off.

6. Tap Notification Grouping, then choose how you want the notifications grouped:

    • Automatic: The notifications from the app are grouped according to organizing criteria within the app, such as by topic or thread.
    • By App: All the notifications from the app are grouped together.
    • Off: Turn off grouping.

To turn off notifications selectively for apps, go to Settings > Notifications > Siri Suggestions, then turn off any app.

When you use Focus, it delays the delivery of notifications on iPhone to prevent interruptions. You can schedule a time to receive a summary of the notifications you missed. See Schedule a notification summary."

If the issue continues, try a normal restart of your device to see if that helps quickly resolve the issue.

We hope this helps to get your notifications showing and sounding as expected again.

Cheers!
