Unable to get iMessage Notifications on my iPhone 13 Pro Max

Go to Settings and tap Notifications. Select an app under Notification Style. 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.

I had this problem for a while. Then I realized that the specific chat had been muted. Open your messages app and swipe left on the message that isn’t giving notifications. There will be a bell icon there. Mine had somehow been muted. You can just unmute the chat and the notifications will come again.

Hi Nick,

Here are some possible reasons why you might not be receiving iMessage notifications:

1. Focus Mode / Do Not Disturb: If Focus Mode or Do Not Disturb is enabled for certain contacts or apps, notifications may be silenced. Check if the specific contacts are muted within these settings.

2. Custom Notification Settings for Contacts: Sometimes, individual contacts may have customized notification settings. Ensure that the contact you're not receiving notifications from is not set to "Hide Alerts" (swipe left on the contact in Messages to check).

3. Message Filtering: Go to Settings > Messages > Unknown & Spam and see if "Filter Unknown Senders" is turned on. If so, messages from some contacts might be getting filtered.

4. Notification Settings: Verify the notification settings for iMessage under Settings > Notifications > Messages. Make sure sounds, badges, and alerts are properly configured.

5. Bluetooth Interference: Sometimes, if your phone is connected to another Bluetooth device, it might direct the notifications there instead of to your watch or phone speaker.

6. Apple Watch Notification Mirroring: Ensure that notifications are set to mirror from your phone to your watch. Go to the Watch app on your phone, tap on "Notifications," and ensure iMessage is toggled on for mirroring.

7. Software Issues: Check for software updates for both your phone and watch. Sometimes, a bug in older versions can cause notification issues.

8. Reset Settings: You might also try resetting the network or notification settings as a last resort. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.

These steps should help resolve your issue. Let me know how it goes!

I finally managed to fix this after a month of trying. Back up your iPhone and then go Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset All Settings. This won't reset the entire phone, just the current settings. Once it has reset you should start receiving notifications again. You can then set up your settings the same way you had them before for everything else.

Solved it! Click on the one person in the message app and there is a setting for “hide alerts”. You can get there on a long press of the person icon in your text threads as well.

I seem to have found a fix. After troubleshooting for over an hour and a half with Apple IT and Senior IT, I reset my iPhone’s settings. After, I restarted my phone again, and re-added my apple ID to iMessage. This worked for me, and I hope if you’ve tried everything else to no avail, try this.

The problem that that message is on hide alert

you need to press and hold on the specific message that you dont get alert and press “show alert”

this will solve problem if you have specific people that you dont get alert when they send you a message

thx

My situation is similar. My iPhone 15 Pro has been getting iMessage notifications from all contacts with pop-ups but my 10th Generation iPad was not getting any iMessage notification pop-ups form any contacts, but when I go to the Messages app, the texts are there, just no notification. I get message notifications on my Apple Watch Series 10 just fine.

All my iPad notification settings match the iPhone and message forwarding on the iPhone is set to on for the iPad.

I did an all settings reset and then rebooted my iPad but still nothing. After checking the Web, I found something about making sure messages were set for iCloud. It was but no messages were synced. After syncing the messages (121,000+), iMessage notification now work even on the lockscreen.

Not sure if this will help anyone else but worth checking out.

In my case, my husband had fat fingered(enabled) the Hide Alerts switch on my contact card. I know, maybe he did that on purpose but he's a human dog so that didn't happen.

hello! im not sure if you’re still having this problem. I had to reset my phone (in settings). And then it started working again. Not a factory reset just a settings reset. Hopefully you’re good now!

I just finished texting with Apple support.

This was happening with my phone for almost one month. I would not get push notifications, but I will know I will get messages because I would get Trey icon notifications on the Imessaging app

FIX - turn off your phone for one minute - be patient and wait the whole minute (not hard reset, just a regular shut off)

• then restarted it, and the issue was fixed for me

I was having issues where not all sms notifications were coming through as well. One solution that seem to have worked for me was to disable all Message notifications then enable it. You can do this via Settings app > Messages > Notifications > then toggle Allow Notifications off and exit the settings app. You can then do the reverse to enable the Message notifications. Hopefully that will fix the issues that others are seeing.

i had the same issue. Somehow restarting my phone solved it.

Hi all!

I was having this same problem. I never got text notifs but the number in the red bubble would go up. What ended up working for me was fully resetting my phone and making sure my phone was up to date. Hope this helps!

I have the exact same issue right now. Notifications for one specific person is not coming through and I consistently miss them. It doesn’t happen every time they text me, but it happens most of the time.

I checked the notifications settings for that one specific person, but everything was normal. They do have a unique text tone and ringtone that’s not the default, but otherwise is the same as everyone else.

I’m hoping someone can help, it’s very frustrating.
