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!!!

I am unable to receive any notifications or sms messages since the update on my Apple Watch (Which has an LTE plan) unless my phone is turned on. Cell provider worked on the iPhone 14 setting and watch setting for over an hour. Called Apple today worked with them for over an hour, elevated to level 2 tech support. Only answer they could provide was to elevate it to engineering or call my provider and cancel my watch LTE plan and open a new plan. I will post update once Apple tech support calls me back Sunday afternoon after speaking with "Engineering"

after the 17.1 and .2 updates...Yes, my notifications for all texts are silent also, even SIRI doesn't announce through airpods.I don't have any app notifications on so i can't attest through that. Phone still rings through. But i am missing ALL my texts, after countless turning off/on, checking sounds/haptics, messages and notifications in setting....Nothing

Spent cumulative 75 minutes on calls with apple support and they know nothing about this issue, they say not one person has ever reported this problem, which i find hard to believe. I see there is as of right now 919 other people who thumb this up with ME TOO...

Their suggestion for me is to do a hard re-set and do an engineering test or something like that which i do not want to do.Hopefully they fix this soon with another update.

I have downloaded quiet a lot of ringtones in my apple/iTunes. NONE of these tones work since upgrade to iOS17.0.1 I agree Apple gave no notifications to us here in apple land ‘making them RICH’ the only consultant is to request a RINGTONE refund. Look at your Apple account & search for refund/tones. After many years with Apple,

I have now decided to return to Samsung, these models all have tone selection for your individual contacts.


Apple is just OTT with not informing us.

Good morning! I want to say that after I came here yesterday, text sounds randomly started happening, and it continued all day and into this morning .

So maybe it's kinda like when you're sick and you call the Dr and then all of a sudden you slowly start to feel better before your appt...who knows.

So, i'm going to say my phone is cured from this update! Let's hope it stays cured.

My notifications are a different sound now, and it’s a very short quiet sound. I also am not getting any email previews for my gmail app. I have checked my settings many times and it is set to always show previews however I only get a banner or message on Lock Screen that says “you have a new message”. When I click on it, it doesn’t even take me to the new message.

You don’t think we’ve done hard resets and turned off and back on 100 times already??

like Octavio1980 said, we DONT want to turns notification BANNERS ON to get alerts. We haven’t sense the beginning of iPhone, it still gives the option to get alerts and notifications WITHOUT notification banners and that’s what we want. I’m in another chat Right now with another Apple rep as I speak, and I have a question, are yall still speaking to mostly foreign reps which have a language barrier issue????

I read in another post that it’s going to take over a month to fix the issues. Not sure this is true but I can’t wait a month. I’m not even getting the notification count on any apps. Where you would normally see a red number next to app that isn’t even working. This phone is for work probably like million other people we can’t be missing things for a month. I’m so so disappointed I’ve been with Apple from day one and this is the worse update ever!! Took away our control!! Anyone else phone shopping? I’ll take recommendations.
