Notifications not working after iOS 17 Update

how did you downgrade back to 16? I have tried everything and still no notices when phone is locked for text messages. Sometimes my watch gets them and sometimes i dont. Not good since i have elderly parents taht I need to receive messages from in a timely fashion.

Thanks

Me too but only after latest iOS 17 update. And only some apps … some work fine. It seems to only impact important apps such as all the Authenticator type apps I need for work etc. and my kid’s daycare app lol

So oddly enough… I posted my problem on here and within a few hours it righted itself. My Apple Watch started dinging, and my iPhone started vibing and chiming again. New notifications of text messages were back online. Coincidence?

After updating my phone to the newest IOS 17, when I get messages from someone it doesn't tell me who texted me. Instead when I get a message it just says notification so, I tried switching my settings hoping it would resolve the issue but it didn't. I called apple about the issue, but they weren't able to give me an answer as to why this is happening. Before the update, when I got messages they'd appear on my lock screen and it would say, for example, "Mom" letting me know I got a text from that person. Even when my phone is unlocked and the banner pops down it doesn't give me the persons name.

Having same issue with my iPhone 12 Pro. All notifications from apps stopped sometime last week when it updated to iOS 17.1.2. Checked all settings, reset phone to factory default settings and still no notifications from apps. I get text and phone call notifications but that’s it. No banners, no numbers on app icons, nothing. Help!!!!

I did both of the IOS 17 updates and now I’m not getting notifications for iMessage or calls. I have tried restarting my phone and verified that notifications are turned on. Other notifications are working for other apps

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. 🤦🏼‍♀️

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 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! 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!!!

No I do not have an Apple Watch. I didn't even know about this update until my iPhone 11 stopped No Caller ID notifications, not good when the NHS and most medical agencies in the UK uses this format to call patiences. I ended up missing an important medical phone call because of it.

Not receiving Gmail notifications on iphone and apple watch. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Gmail app daily which is ridiculous and that works for a few hours. I have also turned off both devices and back on again. This is very annoying to have spent so much money on these devices and not to be able to receive Gmail notifications. What is going on?

Main use case for a phone:

To receive a notification when someone tries to contact you!

Gone!

Nice one team, this says that you diverged too much from the main purpose. I use probably a fraction of all your fancy utilities that you provide in your OS.

Just let me have a notification when someone tries to message me, will ya?
