No Mail sounds since iOS 17 update

I have the same problem. I tried everything listed and even reset settings which is a real pain. No sound for incoming Mail on the Mail app or the outlook app. Both are set to have notifications. Would like to have a fix asap.

I ditched my Android phone for an iPhone because of this. Now I'm facing the same issue with iPhone too. I get the feeling that manufacturers are trying to cram so many new features into mobile devices that nothing works well anymore.

Same issue - No "notification" sound when receiving Apple Mail email. I have Gmail and Outlook clients installed on all my devices - mail notification sounds work fine. Apple Mail notification sounds do not work on iPad, iPhone, and MacBook either. Everything is turned on as suggested in this thread to no avail. Also, I am running custom domain email with iCloud+ with several folders.

Apple - are you monitoring this thread? If so, please provide input.

Running IOS 17.2.1

I just contacted Apple regarding this issue, and the people I spoke with, while friendly, gave me a lot of the same answers all of you have been getting. They took me through the exact same trouble shooting steps I've already tried multiple, multiple times on my own. They even went so far as to tell me to erase my phone and start from scratch. I want my email sounds, but not that badly. Restoring is a massive pain in the tail. Anyway, I'll try this lock screen suggestion, just for fun, but as a voiceover user, I suspect that this will end up being more of an annoyance than it's worth. All I know is that everything was fine prior to iOS 17. I've gone into the custom notifications for mail, and all is as it should be. Let's hope that Apple decides to acknowledge this issue as a bug sooner rather than later.

Sounds are too soft for me to hear and cannot hear my gmail at all unless I am within about 3’ from my ipad which is a brand new 5th gen one. I have actually recharged my old air 2 ipd to use as the sound is so much better for notifications albeit the battery is on its last legs, so much money spent on a new ipad to be totally disappointed. Looking into a galaxy tablet might be better and sell this new ipad.

January 28/2024 and still the same issue in iOS 17.3. And yes I have done everything including resetting all settings and device restore from iMac. Sounds and alerts are enabled and all is right and still 8 to 100 mails have no notification in Lock Screen. Also I notice that despite I have the sound in full, alerts from other apps sounds soft and in app sounds like Pinterest sounds loud despite I have sounds in zero. What is happening?

Still do it. I have done this multiple times (after 2 restoring processes 😂).

It’s the sounds of the phone! Typing this message, the clicking sounds was normal and after an alarm ringing while typing, the sounds goes volume up despite that the sounds bar was in zero.

This is the issue the whole time.

They must fix the sounds. Something happened here.

Nope. While this may have "fixed" whatever issue you were having, it does not fix what most of the users on this thread are experiencing (myself included). Sorry. Happy for. you that your notifications are working as expected. nice!

I don’t get the mail sound when I send mail since I upgraded to this last system. Why is it happening that you do one thing and another thing doesn’t work? Don’t the geek said Apple has these things out? Is there a way to fix this I happen to like that swishing sound.

Done all of that, and have only 1 Mail account and cloud, both set as above , problem is default mail notification doesn’t work. it works when the phone is set then once it’s been in airplane mode or switched off… it stops working, other tones seem to work

Please Apple fix the notification mail sounds.

Me too

Neither of those work, if you don't use the in-built Apple Mail app.
