Notifications not working after iOS 17 Update

This is insane. I have a 14 Pro Max and a 14 Plus and I am getting the same on both devices. I tried the Focus trick, I tried resetting all the settings etc. So for Teams, Slack, Discord, etc no notifications no matter what I set the settings to, outlook either. Extremely frustrating. Anyone find a solution?

I have mine set to default and now after the latest update, my phone will randomly make a text noise. I haven’t changed any settings and now it’s going right back to the same. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I have solved this issue for me and my wife. We both have Apple Watches and all it took, after months of trying to find a solution, was to open the watch app and check the “send to Notification Center “ under Messages. I still haven’t figured out how to get Notifications on my watch and phone, but, at least it works on the phone again when the phone is locked.

I tried this on iPhone 12 pro. Go to settings > general > iPhone storage > select the app with the problem > offload app > delete app. Reinstall and notifications started working. Hope it helps.

Finally solved this for my Mom!!! After checking ALL the settings, she still had this issue. 

Make sure that you don't have Hide Alerts turned on for the person/conversation. In Messages on ur phone, long-press on the conversation (from the "Messages" screen) and look for Show Alerts. If you see it, select it to show alerts. If you see Hide Alerts instead, then you're good just leave it as-is because you don't want to hide their alerts. 

For some reason I wasn't receiving notifications on Messages from my Mom and vice versa. Neither of us recalls intentionally hiding alerts from each other. However, this was the culprit. I hope this helps someone. May you be in peace ❤️ 

updated to 17.2.1 and now receiving no text notifications.

i have rebooted phone, done hard reset and then Reset All Settings.

volume at max

not in focus mode.

toggle switch is switched on (not silent).

checked settings in Notifications and in Messages.

essentially i don't have Messages because i don't know if someone texts me unless i open my phone and check.

v sad

I don't know if anyone can help me but I would truly appreciate any advice any of you can provide. I have an iPhone 14 Pro and my custom ringtones work fine, the custom alert for my messages also works as well. I have a sports app (CBS Sports App) that has no assigned alert tone and despite updating to iOS 17.2, the alert tone for the CBS Sports App went from a default "bell ping" to just a "mechanical sounding clunk" which is not very loud.

I have no idea what else to do, and I have spoken to Apple about it but what we tried together did not work. I know that this is not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things, but when you pay a lot for a phone you expect it to work the way you want.

If there is anyone who can offer some detailed "step-by-step" advice I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance!

I had the same issues and tried lot of things mentioned here and there and nothing worked. Till I tried the following:

Go to Sittings

Messages

Allow messages to access

Focus (un-click)

Then I now get sms messages normally like before the update.

UPDATE: As of today and IOS 17.2.1 this bug/ issue has been fixed. We are now getting sound notifications even if you select only sound notifications. This was surely something that apple broke when IOS 17 was released

I had updated my iPhone 15 pro max it worked great before that update and to mention the iPhone is a brand new phone and now my text notifications don’t work don’t get text alerts no banners nothing I tried everything and everything is turned on.

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!

That sounds as if you may have Focus enabled.

This will be the last Apple purchase for me.

You should always buy whatever tool best meets your needs. No one here in this user-to-user forum has any vested interest in what you choose.

Hi,

I was having the same problem with my iPhone 14 Pro, and despite trying each and every single suggestion from people on this site, nothing worked. I spent many hours on the phone with Apple and nothing that they suggested worked either.

I finally bit the bullet and went to the T-Mobile store and upgraded to the iPhone 15 Pro, and lo and behold everything works. Obviously since people with a wide variety of iPhone models are having this problem, it is not inherent to the hardware.

In my opinion there is some connection to the software and older iPhone models. I know that none of this helps people solve the problem, but if you are looking to switch to an Android, perhaps upgrading to a different iPhone model would help you. By the way, you will be able to keep your phone number. Good luck!

hello,

i have a some solution about this, what u can do is go to te messasge center and clik on the app where the notifications is not working.

show preview and set the option on always.

i have an iphone 11 and for me is that the solution that the notifications is working again.

I have the same issue made worse by a senior who had me reset my phone. Put in banners. That at least will give you a notification. Also some senior just had me I think go to settings. Messages. Turn notifications center off then on or on then off. That doe something. Pretty dumb Apple doesn’t have iPhones to help us trouble shoot. I’m supposed to call someone at midnight to text
