After latest update IOS 17, iphone 13 mini wont get anymore sound notifications. Calls are normal.
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
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!!!
Just did the update a couple of days ago and had this same issue on my 14. Only thing that fixed it was allowing texts, calls, messenger, etc to show on my Lock Screen which is absolutely not okay. I get texts with sensitive information. I plan to report it to Apple because this is unacceptable.
I just got off the phone with Apple Care. It's a known issue and there engineers are working on it. In the meantime, here's what worked for me:
Go to Settings --> General --> Transfer or Reset iPhone
Choose to Reset Settings (as long as you only reset settings, it won't delete your data)
Wait for your phone to reboot
It worked after that. BUT if you go into Settings --> Notifications --> Messages and you try to disable all of the Alerts (where the choices are Lock Screen, Notification Center, and Banners), it will stop working. It appears at least one of them has to be enabled.
Well I think I figured it out. And see if this applies to you:
Apple has removed the privacy of receiving messages on a locked screen. The only time I can hear or feel an incoming iMessage or Facebook messenger msg is if I choose to have the notification appear on my locked screen. Now I work for a railroad and work in an office where my phone must stay if I have to go into the yard. Why must I have to constantly change settings on my phone if I want things to remain private? This is a stupid thing to change or MISS since this only started occurring with iOS 17.
Okay, I need help! I updated to iOS 17.1 with high hopes that it would fix the sound notifications on just one app that I had put on my phone.
When the update was done I went into "SETTINGS", and then "NOTIFICATIONS". Under "NOTIFICATION STYLE" the app that I need help with is listed, and it has in gray underneath the app name "BANNERS, SOUNDS". When I press on the app name, it takes me to a screen where underneath the "ALERTS", (which all three are checked... i.e., "LOCK SCREEN", "NOTIFICATION CENTER", and "BANNERS" is the selection for "BANNER STYLE" which is listed as "temporary."
Right underneath the "BANNER STYLE" selection is the "SOUNDS" selection. It is all the way to the "RIGHT" and shows up in "GREEN", but when I press on it absolutely nothing happens.
If I am doing something wrong please let me know, or please write easy to follow instructions on how to fix this. I absolutely detest the mechanical sound that is being made whenever a notification for this app is received. Thank you all for your help, and I truly hope that someone can help me out.
The newest update did not fix the low notification sound for third party apps. Still getting rebound and not the tri tone. Ugh it’s useless. Still missing alerts for security cameras, weather, and basically all of them. I really I’m so disappointed. I know Apple doesn’t care. I know all of us sent Apple feedback and it did no good.
Welp, 17.1 did not fix the issue for me. While wearing the watch, I do not get a notification on the phone. I even turned on "Allow notifications while mirroring". Thinking that might fix it. Nope.
I’ve found something a bit weird with Mail on my iPhone 13 Pro Max running iOS17.1 (also happened on iOS17.0.1/2/3).
If I send an email to either my work or personal imap email accounts I get no notification until I unlock the phone and open the mail app.
If I send an email to my iCloud account I get the notification pretty quickly.
I checked my notification settings and they’re identical.
What could be causing this? It used to work fine on iOS 16, and I didn’t change any settings since the update.
Update: I tried Outlook and still no mail notifications on any account.
But when I tried ‘Airmail’ the IMAP accounts pinged within a minute or so of the message arriving.
Not sure why this is, but maybe a more technically minded person could figure it out. In the meantime, try Airmail if your emails aren’t pinging.
Just impossible to hear notifications I should receive on my Xiaomi security cameras. Security camera unuseful.
Seems to be the same for Arlo, Brink, …
Is it an issue .m4r / .caf files format ? A change iOS16 / iOS17.
Could it be because if you’re wearing a watch you’ll know it’s arrived so there’s no reason for the phone to make a sound?
(Either way, it’s still not working for me. I’m using airmail for notifications and mail for the emails as the constant nagging from airmail to “upgrade to pro” is annoying me)
That’s exactly how it is supposed to work now.
if you have an Apple Watch paired with an iPhone, the notification sounds only on your watch.
if you are not wearing the watch, then the notification sounds on your phone.
after iOS 17, it only sounds on one or the other!
Iphone SE (latest) . Pretty much same here. Since update to IOS 17 no notifications for Messenger , E-mail. or WhatsApp . Only 'sms messages' notifications working . Checked everything , tried everything - nothing works . I need these notifications . Hope an update can rectify this problem soon otherwise a switch to Samsung might be on the cards .
Guys I had this problem then realised that my volume for my announcements was set to zero. make sure all your settings are on and then send a message that should give an announcement and keep pressing the volume up button. not sure if you know but you can set the volume of the announcements whilst an announcement is taking place. hope this helps !
Hej , thanks for your suggestion. All my settings are as they should be including sound volume etc. My son ( who is not as daft as me ! ) has same phone and has updated IOS as I have and has not had any problems. He has checked my phone but cannot find why mine is playing up . I will let every one know if I solve my problem of course . Thanks again for your suggestion.
Apparently, this is indeed the case. Apple now claims that this is the intention. And if you have announce turned on with your Airpods in, that is the only place the notification will go. I normally have my watch on silent, and the taps alone are not enough. I at least want the phone screen to turn on with the notification.
Bet you can do this on an Android.
Notifications not working after iOS 17 Update
