Go to settings, go to notifications, go to Messages. Now make sure you have one of these selected. Mine was grey and didn’t have one selected. When I chose Notification Center my sound came back! 😎✌🏼

Hi, I'm also having problems with my notification sounds ever since I updated to 17.0.2. Are you saying that if I purchase an "Alert Tone" from Apple that I will be able to assign it to the app that I am no longer getting sounds from?

The specific app that I am having problems with is the "CBS Sports" app. The only sound that was assigned to the "CBS Sports" app was a default iPhone app, and now it makes kind of a metallic clunk that you really cannot hear very well.

When I go to "NOTIFICATIONS" and then click on the "CBS Sports" app, and then "SOUNDS", the sliding switch is on the right side and it is showing green, but when you try and press on it, nothing happens. I have checked with the developers of the "CBS Sports" app, but they have not been helpful. I have spoken with Apple support and they tried a few things like hard restarting, but nothing really worked.

If anyone can help me with this I would really appreciate you listing the steps of how to make this work. Thank you very much!

I’m wondering why I would ever get another iPhone (iPOS) …

I’ve had so many issues with this phone for 6 months to the point I can’t even use the phone more than 80% of the time!

Over the last couple months, I’ve spent over 15 HOURS on the phone with a supoort, Sr. advisors and they have not helped me with ANY issues.

Oh and the camera still sucks for taking night pics.

Hi, thank you for your reply... I do appreciate it. Unfortunately after I tried what you suggested it did not change anything. I agree completely that Apple needs to fix this, and since this has been going on for at least two weeks I do not understand why there has been such a delay.


I really do like my iPhone, but my friends who have the Samsung Galaxy 23 do not have these problems.


If anyone else is able to come up with a solution, believe me, it would be much appreciated by a lot of people. Thanks!

I am unable to receive any notifications or sms messages since the update on my Apple Watch (Which has an LTE plan) unless my phone is turned on. Cell provider worked on the iPhone 14 setting and watch setting for over an hour. Called Apple today worked with them for over an hour, elevated to level 2 tech support. Only answer they could provide was to elevate it to engineering or call my provider and cancel my watch LTE plan and open a new plan. I will post update once Apple tech support calls me back Sunday afternoon after speaking with "Engineering"

I have downloaded quiet a lot of ringtones in my apple/iTunes. NONE of these tones work since upgrade to iOS17.0.1 I agree Apple gave no notifications to us here in apple land ‘making them RICH’ the only consultant is to request a RINGTONE refund. Look at your Apple account & search for refund/tones. After many years with Apple,

I have now decided to return to Samsung, these models all have tone selection for your individual contacts.


Apple is just OTT with not informing us.

Good morning! I want to say that after I came here yesterday, text sounds randomly started happening, and it continued all day and into this morning .

So maybe it's kinda like when you're sick and you call the Dr and then all of a sudden you slowly start to feel better before your appt...who knows.

So, i'm going to say my phone is cured from this update! Let's hope it stays cured.
