Bluetooth enable notifications is missing for my device

Suddenly I’m not able to receive texts on my Amazon fitness band (Halo View)…

Ive tried all the workarounds I can find, but the crux of the problem is the “enable notifications” toggle is no longer there when I go into Bluetooth “i” button for my Halo. What happened here??? What’s up, Apple?? I think it must have been a recent update. I’m now running 16.4.1 on my 2020 SE.


PLEASE can anyone explain how to fix this? Am I just going to have to wait for Apple to fix it with an update? I just want the toggle back so I can get text notifications again.


HELP!! Many thanks in advance!

iPhone SE (3rd generation)

I am having the same problem. The notifications came through just fine until the recent iOS update. I have to do the updates to be compliant with my employer’s electronic policy and since that update there is no longer a toggle button for allow notifications for the Harlow view under Bluetooth settings. It is definitely on the Apple side of things from the last update. Would love for this to be fixed. Calls still come through, but really relied on the notifications coming through as well.

Same here! Strange thing is, in my BMW 4 series there isn’t t an issue and the “show notification “ toggle is still present. However, when connected to MAN MMT system (an Audi product) in my truck, the toggle is absent. It was there before the update and shortly afterwards too, but when it refreshed the contacts list later that day, it disappeared. My BMW has Apple CarPlay fitted so I imagine that is the reason it still has the toggle present in that connection , but not happy. My work iPhone I haven’t updated and that, when connected, still displays the toggle switch!

Texts message is a phone carrier feature and you're using an Amazon product none of which is an Apple issue.

Thanks. To clarify, I have been getting text notifications on this device for over a year, as the capability is built into the device by Amazon. They’re not texts per se as in phone texts, they’re simply notifications. Sorry to be misleading.

Again, my problem is my phone no longer presents the option to enable text notification (via Bluetooth) by the way of a “enable notifications” toggle switch.

it used to be there, and the device requires it to be toggled on, but it’s just not there. Its a feature I really miss!

Thanks, yes I was thinking the same thing since I updated recently.

When I ask apple they wanted to send me back to Amazon. Amazon keeps telling me to enable notifications (which I can’t) so I think it’s an apple issue? My cynic husband thinks apple would like to disable any devices but theirs lol

Hoping another (apple or halo) update will solve the problem!

Please share here if you solve!! Many thanks!
