No iMessage notification sound after IOS 17.0.1 update on iPhone 13 Max

A lot of people are having this issue, but solutions seem to vary. If you have an Apple Watch, it affects how notifications come through. If you don't use the watch, experiment with turning Bluetooth off.

See post from OhRayOhRay showing one approach.

this was posted after you posted your query. Just thought you might want to give it a try.

<<Talked to a Senior Adviser, he had me go into sounds/haptics and run the volume bar up and down three times, turn off notifications in messages, shutdown, restart, turn on notifications in messages. Hard to figure but this fixed the problem of no sounds for text messages. Phone call sound was working but not texts. Fixed for me, hope this may help others.>>

I updated to iOS 17.1 and everything is ok now 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

The latest update 17.1 that was just released seems to have addressed and fixed the issue.

I think it related to the Apple Watch. I turned the watch off and sound notifications now come through when locked. This needs to be fixed. Thanks Jason_707

I completely powered down my watch and the alerts started working again, so I think you're on to something

Updating to 17.1.1 solved my problems. I no longer have to turn Bluetooth off to receive notification sounds while the screen is locked.

updating to 17.1.1 seemed to fix the issue so far..

Ok guys and gals. I found a solution. Go i to your watch app on your phone and turn off notifications. Everything notifies on your phone now.

I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and I was having the same issue with my phone. I went to my watch app and turned off where I have my watch to mimic my phone and now I’m getting all my text messages

iPhone not providing text tone when messages were received. Followed the advise of one in the community. Turned Bluetooth off on my Ida’s p iPad and the text tone’s stated working.

I had the same problem with my 14Pro after updating. I followed someone else’s instructions and went to

Settings

Notifications

Messages

and despite mine already turned on, I then turned ON

Notification Center, just below Alerts.

I am again receiving audible notifications when I receive texts.

I had called Apple Support before this. They are aware of the problem and apparently working on a solution. They did not provide any temporary fix info.

sorry if this has already been posted and sorry that I have not posted this sooner

the fix is very simple

Setting / Notification / messages / turn off / restart phone

Settings / notifications / messages / turn on

Since updating my phone to the latest version I haven’t been getting message notifications on my phone but my watch does the ding thing. Very weird but I just did a hard reset on my phone and the notifications for messages works for now. Let’s hope it stays that way 😒

iPhone 14 Pro Max

I think I finally found the culprit on another thread: Settings>Messages>Text Message Forwarding. It was set to "On" in the iPhone for the iPad. Turned it off and now the phone and iPad (still) are both getting text alerts...for now.
