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!!!

Has anyone heard if Apple plans on fixing the rebound sound back to tri tone? So many are so mad and upset they are missing alerts that are very important. Since the 17 update I’ve had so many issues dropped calls, text won’t go through you have to resend them. Like one user said weather security cameras and many other apps either such a low sound you miss it or you don’t even get an alert. I have sent many feedbacks to Apple. hoping the next update fixes it.

I have the iPhone 14 Pro Max with software up to date at iOS 17.1.1 There is only one app that I’m having notification problems with, Facebook. The notifications in settings on my phone for this particular app are on and all notifications in the Facebook app are turned on. I’ve tried logging out, deleting Facebook, shutting off my phone, turning my phone back on, redownloading Facebook, logging back in and nothing has helped me get my Facebook notifications back. I could really use some help. Anyone have any suggestions on why I’m not receiving Facebook notifications? TIA!!!

Im using a brand new iphone 15 pro max running IOS 17.1.1 im getting a push notifications with no sound for some apps like youtube, amazon, Starbucks.


Resetting all setting and removed all apps, no disturb mode is on, all notifications is turned on, nothing helped, contacted with apple technical support also he cant do anything. Hopefully thats issue will be resolved in the next update soon because its very unpleasant and disturbing.

I haven't had any iphone notifications since ios 16 over a year ago so don't feel bad. That update really broke it. I have tried EVERYTHING short of a complete wipe of the phone. 'Focus' is all turned off and everything allowed, but something in that update about a year and a half ago really borked it. No badges, no sounds, but they are in notification center. I just have to manually check that every time I use the phone. I hope they fix it some day maybe in ios18

I had the same thing for months. I managed to fix mine by changing a setting notifications.


Settings (apple)

notifications

select what apps

I didn't have one of these selected. (Lock screen, Notification Centre and Banners)


I have always had these disabled on What'sApp but when I selected Banners my alerts started to work.


My other setting remain the same


Allow Notifications (on)


Banner Style (temporary)

Badges (on)

Show Previews (When unlocked)

Notification Grouping (Automatic)


Clearly its still not right but hopefully enabling (banners) may allow you to get alerts again like me.

My Ip12 pro max didn’t get any notifications after updating. Checked all the notifications settings all are enabled. Frustrated by this, I ‘reset all settings’ in general. After finished, I go one by one on the app where the first time you open the app after rest, there will be a pop-up box where it asked you to either allow notifications or not and click allow on the apps that I wanted to be notified and clicked do not allow on the apps that I don’t want to be notified. It’s been working fine. But it will be a haste since you need to set up everything again just like new phone though the data will not be lost.

Since the ios17 update I have not received any text message updates on my iPhone SE Gen2. No alerts. No sounds. No notice what so ever. I periodically check my phone to see a cache of text messages I was not aware of. It does not appear to have an effect on any other apps or notifications except for the apple messages app. How do I correct this? I have checked all the settings within the phone to make sure alerts and notifications were turned on, do not disturb turned off, and so on for texts and nothing has worked.
