Notifications not working after iOS 17 Update

Turning “Banners” on fixed it for me, so far.

I don’t want banners on though.

Hopefully an update soon.

I changed my text tone to the default tone and now it’s working, but when I chose a classic tone it didn’t work

I also have the same issue the only way for me to fix this is to shut off my apple Watch then I have sound on my lock screen again

Make sure to update iPhone to iOS 17.02 it will fix the issue with not having no sound to notifications while phone is on Lock Screen!

Try going to do not disturb and putting on personal. Try it. Than put back on what you want.

Turn your text banner notifications on. This fixed the problem for me. The Apple assistant said that as of right now, the banners have to be on to get text notification sounds.

I simply changed the text tone to the "default" tone and it worked. It works even if you do not have any banners selected.

Turn off Bluetooth on watch but leave it enabled on phone.

Your notification sounds will work again.

In focus settings, switch on “share across devices”

That resolved the issue for me

Apple does not read here in this user-to-user forum for feedback or suggestions. You can, however, let them know your thoughts here:

Meanwhile, please stop yelling at us, your fellow users. It will accomplish nothing useful.

Hello. I had the same problem in whatsapp. No notifications coming in iPhone neither iWatch. All the others apps seems to work fine, even Facebook Messenger.

My solution was on delete the whatsapp app, turn off the phone and then turn it on again and reinstall whatsapp.

After restore settings in iCloud and data, wait to someone to message me and voila! it works again!!! got notifications on both devices.

I hope to this help someone to fix this issue.

I'm running iOS 17.0.1 on iPhone 12, did last whatsapp update and using iWatch SE 2022 watchOS 10.0.1

Here’s my update. I updated to 17.0.3 and confirmed that it DID fix my notifications issue. Apple pulled off a buzzer beater because I was planning on returning all three 15 Pro Max and my Ultra 2 tomorrow.

Also, I’m not sure why it’s only fixing some iPhones and not all. People should post what iPhone version and iOS they have to maybe narrow it down somewhat.

My Phone: 15 Pro Max / iOS 17.0.3

So notifications sounds are only “sounding” on one or the other! Watch or phone!

Thank you for posting the web page to this New Update ! It’s exactly what was happening to me. iPhone 13

Notifications on your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Hello everyone. I have the same issue on my iphone 14 pro max. I contacted apple support and they have send me the following notification.

Notifications on Apple Watch

Customize how often and how you receive notifications on your Apple Watch so you can respond immediately or check them whenever it's convenient for you.

Where notifications appear

Notifications appear on your Apple Watch or iPhone, but not both.

If your iPhone is unlocked, you get notifications on your iPhone instead of your Apple Watch.

If your iPhone is locked or in sleep mode, you receive notifications on your Apple Watch, unless your Apple Watch is locked.

Some apps, like the Noise app, are only available on your Apple Watch. Notifications for these apps don't appear on iPhone.

When there are unread notifications, the red notifications icon appears at the top of your watch face. If you want to hide the notifications icon, open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap Notifications, then turn off Show Notifications.

When you read or dismiss notifications on your Apple Watch, they are also dismissed on your iPhone.

View and interact with a notification

When a notification appears, you can tap it to see more options. Depending on the app that sent the notification, you can reply to a message, return a call, archive an email, and more.
