After iOS 17.2.1 the whole notifications cocktail involving the iPhone and Apple Watch is a complete disaster, utter shambles. I receive an SMS yet I get NO notification sound AT ALL on either the phone or the watch and no visible indication that I have received an SMS either, nothing, I literally have no idea I have received a message unless I open the app! Nothing on the watch and nothing / no badge on the phone. Yet I can open up Messages on the watch or the phone and can see them all sat there, unread. What's the point of having these insanely expensive devices if they can't even perform the most basic phone functions? This will be the last Apple purchase for me. Sure Android has its problems but Apple is total shambles at the moment! I get the feeling Apple is trying to be way more clever than it actually is, trying to link and mirror too many things and when the wheel comes off it comes off big time, and takes way to long to put back on!!!

Well it's just not with what app. sound alerts are not coming for Microsoft Teams, Telegram and I have checked all settings in app. as well as in IOS notification settings. I have updated to IOS 17 and noticed one thing for what app. if I go to the notifications settings for IOS for what app. and select show notifications on locked screen I get the sound notification. However, I do not want my what app. notifications to show on the locked screen!

None of my previous purchased text tones were on my phone after the 17 upgrade, spent this morning buying all new ones and initially they showed up in the contacts info and now they're all gone. they're only recognized under ring tones. These are literally labeled as alert/text tones. So I just got had. $$ down the drain. Thanks Apple. Not cool and unhappy customer.

My wife just discovered this as well. Neither do I hear a sound, nor does the phone illuminate the lock screen when receiving an iMessage. I do feel a tap on my watch, but the watch screen does not show the message, nor does the watch make a sound. No difference with watch mute on or off.


Worth noting however, taking off the watch then allows the phone screen to turn on and make a sound. I wonder how many others with this issue also have watches.

I spent most of the afternoon trying to get something to work; finally have sound on mail and messages. Several people I know have upgraded to 17.0.3 and do not have the issue, so not sure of the combination of factors are determining which devices are affected but it would be really nice if Apple would chime in.
