when people send texts, family is telling me that is says “ notification silenced”. I’ve checked focus and I have nothing on. I checked my iPad and it’s not on a focus mode. How can I fix this??
Turn off all focus (DND, Driving, Work, Sleep, Personal, Any other). Open the Control center and see if this helps.
And then turn back the only Focus that you need.
If your family is still receiving texts with the message "notification silenced" when messaging you, it could be due to a few different settings or configurations on your iPhone or iPad. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can follow to resolve the issue:
Check Individual Contact Settings:
Check Mute Conversation:
SMS and iMessage notifications settings are not different. However, if the recipient has enabled Hide Alerts for a specific message thread then there won't be any sound irrespective of DND
For Hide Alerts please see the pic 1 below. Follow Pic 2 for two scenarios; DND+Hide Alert and Only DND
Pic 1 (Hide Alerts)
Pic 2 (Two Scenarios) 1. DND + Hide Alert, 2. Only DND
This is the answer! Worked for me!
Thanks! Glad I was able to help!! Be sure to upvote my response so others see it first and don't have to scroll through the entire thread to get to the answer.
I get mess saying calls are silenced and I do not want them silenced
Thank you so much for this !!!
It's simple to fix.
Again,
Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Focus > Toggle Messages Off
I see no such setting under Sounds and Haptics. The solution I gave works great. Settings> Privacy & Security > Focus > Toggle messages off.
This is different from Settings > Focus.
When I send a text, it says silent
I have this issue as well. Was happening about a month ago and was able to get rid of the silence notification by shutting off all the settings as suggested. Now it randomly came back and will not go away. I don’t have any focus settings or do not disturb activated on any device. And in fact, it’s working backwards rather than notifying people that I have notifications silenced when they text me, it shows it when I text them that I am silenced. This makes no sense and is utterly useless. Very annoying. I wish Apple would learn the philosophy regarding if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
This recently happened to me. I had accidentally turned on do not disturb on my laptop and it carried over to all other devices as well. Once I turn do not disturb off laptop and not to share do not disturb all devices. The problem was fixed.
Messages say notifications silenced
