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! 😎✌🏼

I too have all the banners. I just realized that with Airpods in use, I get the announcement, but nothing happens on the watch or phone. I like the audible announcement, so I don't want to have to defeat it just to get the other to work. There should have been another option to announce AND display/ play alert. Or they could just put it back to the way it was.

I'm seeing an issue where my Apple Watch will have a notification in the Notification Center, but intermittently won't vibrate, most frequently with my email through Spark. I just had an email come through with my phone unlocked and it also didn't vibrate or show its banner. I'm on Watch OS 10.0.2 and iOS 17.0.3. My 13 pro worked fine on 17.0.1, so I thought the bug was from transferring all the data from the 13 pro to 15 PM. I reset all content and settings on the 15 and still am having the issue occur.


Hopefully this is resolved quickly, since I use my watch extensively to check if a notification is important if I'm busy and not looking at my phone.

Thanks for noting this. I turned this off for messages, and sure enough it sounds and displays on the phone while I have my watch on. Incredibly annoying.


On a related note, Apple support had me jumping through numerous hoops, and spending a great deal of time trying to solve a different problem a few weeks ago. Had I just Googled that problem first, I would have realized it was widely reported. Yet both the agent on the phone, and the one at the Apple store, claimed to have never heard of it. Either Apple leaves front line support in the dark, or does inform them, but insists they do not acknowledge this to customers. Either way, it's pretty terrible, and makes me sympathetic for front line support.

I’m so disappointed that this hasn’t been fixed.

Still no sounds unless I have a banner.

This isn’t convenient at all.

As others have said this has been a long time since update which has caused this fault.

It’s also quite irritating reading these posts are being deleted and others who speak with Apple have not been reassured that it’s going to be fixed. In fact it seems there are some operatives who aren’t aware of this issue.

Very Odd that not all iPhone users have this issue.

I am also encountering an issue where I don't get like notifications from Instagram anymore after the update. I'll get DMs, comment notifications, etc and they are all the same, quiet sound but I don't get the like notifications for any of my posts coming across my lock screen anymore since I updated to iOS 17. I've tried going into settings on both IG and in the general Phone settings, I've logged out/logged back into IG, I've rebooted my phone but still don't get the notifications anymore? Is this happening for anyone else and is there a way to fix this?

It's totally crazy what apple did to all of us with the new update, we can't have any notification in any app.on our iphone.

I lost sounds that I had from old ringtones, messages, email etc, we have no information from third parties. They should fix this for all of us. As it was before. We should get notifications at the same time as it was before in all our Apple devices. We pay too much to have these devices and face these issues. Mercy. I hope that the next update will fix this issue for everyone.
