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

Has there been any resolution for this problem yet? I have had this issue since I got my iPhone 14 almost a year ago. No notification sounds from my apps. I get text message sounds and alerts, but that's it.

• Focus is Off

• Do Not Disturb is Off

• Silent Mode is Off

• Notification Settings are all On

• All respective Sounds and Haptics are Enabled

Some Apps don't even give alerts at all anymore (Shopify being one of them). I used to get alerts for every sale on my Shopify app. Now I don't often know that I've made a sale until I get an email days later from Shopify about the funds being transferred to my bank account. Then I have to scramble to the website and fulfill all of my orders. This has been going on for almost a year. My Calendar (Apple Calendar) will not give alerts or sounds anymore on my iPhone 14 Pro. I missed a meeting at work because of this.

My old iPhones are in the house and have been repurposed as security cameras or other things and sometimes I will hear those phones give the alert sounds and I will know that the notifications are still working on those (and it will prompt me to check the respective app on my current iPhone 14 Pro).

My Calendar alerts work on my MacBook Pro, but I do not always have it with me. It is more of a desktop computer for me.

Why is this still a problem on the iPhones, @Apple Inc.?

Apple, when are you going to fix this?? This has been happening for me since the .3 update. No fix with .4 update. I found after reading this post that my notifications work again with Bluetooth turned off. This is affecting my life and is unacceptable! I missed a time-sensitive email from my child’s school, for one example of many.

This works!!

Try this.

Go to Settings -> Messages -> Send & Receive

Make sure you check only 1 number to receive and reply iMessage from. Unchecked even your icloud email address..

Let me know if it works.

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  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  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!

I am also having this issue, my Focus/ Do Not Disturb is off, and I do not even have the Apple Watch app installed. I get no text notifications ever, I only know when that I have a text when I unlock my screen and look at the message button. My gmail notifications rarely come through and it no longer sends notifications to my FitBit either. This has been going on for about 4 months now and I got this phone in May.

After my son have to walk home a mile in the pouring rain due to not getting his text I am I little upset. With what I paid for the phone should it not work, especially since it looks like I am not the only one with this issue.

Apparently it turned out to be a feature as expected.

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

Detailed explaination is given here

Having the same problem, only focus is off. went into the settings and turned off the setting “turn on or share focus across devices”

Still no help.. I’m missing alarms, phone calls, calendar, eventsnotifications everything! My do not disturb is NOT on. Not in airplane mode.

I did almost right away and nothing changed :’) I was able to delete and reinstall the apps that weren’t giving notifications, and it seems to have solved the issue. Doing so wasn’t without massive headache though

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.

I hope this helps someone.

Have you checked the switch on the left side of the phone? It’s a little black tab above the volume control and you can switch it on or off to silence ALL notifications on your device. Try to switch it and you’ll see your phone will tell you if your device has silence on or off. Hope this helps

Thank you for that, Truism 16.

Yes i tried that first, tried turning bluetooth off, changing notifications, changing volume controls, re-booting after everything, taking FOCUS off, and a half dozen other things that i have already forgotten. Nothing works. Of course, the phone will be two years old in two months, so that is probably part of the "planned obsolescence" of Apple. At this point, I guess I will have to buy a new one in November. so frustrating.

Yeah the iPhone 14 is the worst - all updated and all notifications in the proper area and I get no sound notification no alerts no vibration NOTHING. Can’t see staying with a phone that is no more than a paperweight and NO HELP AT ALL.

I started having a similar issue a few days ago (i think this may be caused by some sort of update) where my reminders that have worked flawlessly for years (i set everything to go off at 6am on whatever particular day I need to do the task), but all of a sudden my reminders refuse to show on the lock screen at all anymore. and the widget *****. im really frustrated as this is a huge focal point of how i operate in my life to stay on top of things and organized. I need reminders to show in the original drop down on my lock screen. what is the point if i have to go and unlock my phone and look at the disorganized list on the app itself??? i might as well carry around a paper list as thats better than the current update. the apple reminders app is completely useless now
