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!!!

Rebooted the phone between setting changes, made so many I forgot what I set things to. I went back and made sure that notifications were enabled for my apps in question (banners, sound, and badges). Also set previews to always. iMessage started to show notifications w/ sound on my lock screen, yea! Mail still wasn’t working. For mail it was the fetch setting that was causing the problem. It was set to automatic (won’t fetch with this set unless you are using the app). Setting this to every 15 min and my lock screen sounds and banners started working.


Not a step by step solution; however, it worked for me…

Just my 2 cents worth. I spent a while in a chat with Apple this morning, they didn't know what the fix was either. But just one thing on the list of things we checked, worked. Well for me anyway. Brand new iphone 15 and ios 17.2

settings> face id & passcode <scroll down and disable the button beside Attention Aware Features. Who knew something so obscure would muck up everyone's settings?

Point to note, notifications are now working AND working with non native apple tones. Hope this helps someone out.

Well it's just not with what app. sound alerts are not coming for Microsoft Teams, Telegram and I have checked all settings in app. as well as in IOS notification settings. I have updated to IOS 17 and noticed one thing for what app. if I go to the notifications settings for IOS for what app. and select show notifications on locked screen I get the sound notification. However, I do not want my what app. notifications to show on the locked screen!

None of my previous purchased text tones were on my phone after the 17 upgrade, spent this morning buying all new ones and initially they showed up in the contacts info and now they're all gone. they're only recognized under ring tones. These are literally labeled as alert/text tones. So I just got had. $$ down the drain. Thanks Apple. Not cool and unhappy customer.

For Signal viber messager WhatsApp messengers, the sound and display of new messages on the locked screen did not work. Messages could only be seen by opening the application. What helped was deleting all these instant messengers, rebooting the phone, re-installing instant messengers and turning on all possible notifications for these applications in the phone settings and the applications themselves. And then the phone overloads again 🤓 I think the old messenger settings after updating to iOS 17 just stopped working (?) (!) iphone 11 pro, ios 17.0.3
