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

Not sure if this helps anyone but if you go in to the Notifications Tab and for example under the Messaging section when you click on it you should see an option where it says Sound or Notifications not sure which one but it will say On next to it.. Click on it and on the next screen you should see 2 options.. The one thats checked says something about Direct messages or custom notifications.. Click on the bottom option that says All notifications or something like that and you should get the sound and notifications back on said application.. in this case it would be for the messages..

Come on Apple, so may of us with this issue!

I also don’t get a sound when I get messages. Is there a fox for this yet

I don’t have an Apple Watch and I am having the same problem. I keep missing important messages.

A lot of us do not have Apple Watches or Mac computers.

This happened to me a few days ago. I looked in a few places for a fix and finally ended up here where I found the solution. I’ve attached a screenshot of the fix I used (thank you Dr999). It’s super simple…

Did not work for me,

I need it fixed- I miss a lot of important text. Can apple do an update

My call with Tech Support today has lasted over an hour already. No solutions so far. They put me through to a supervisor. So much time wasted.... The second person is still working on this looking stuff up.

How is this possible that a phone can't perform a basic function??

The only solution I know of is taking a hard line on no more apple products.

This worked flawlessly after turning off message notifications in I-watch app. I have began getting notifications immediately while on lock screen. This has been the biggest pain for almost a year. Thank you so very much!

I wanted to let you know this helped my problem. I have tried a bunch of things and nothing worked except this. Some kind of mojo in there - I don't know. But knock on wood, it has been several days now and it still working for me. Thank you for taking the time to post.

The issue is… Apple in their wisdom will only allow notifications to one device. So if you have a watch or other Bluetooth connected device, it’s that, that will receive the audible notification not both. So disconnecting Bluetooth from your device will resolve the phone not dinging issue BUT if you’re like me and hard of hearing, that’s a big problem. I need both to alert me.

I see that this has been an ongoing issue since last year and now my phone does not notify whenever there is a text and it is 2024. What was the point of the update if it didn’t fix an issue that has been happening constantly ???

I don't know whether this is a fix, but it seems to have fixed it for me.

I deleted all the modes e.g. work, sleep, focus etc, except do not disturb, which you can't delete, but you can turn off. You just do this by going to each one and deleting it at the bottom of the menu.

This is because I noticed in each mode that there was an 'options' tab in the notification settings, and this seemed to only have the option of silencing notifications 'always' or 'when locked'. There was no option to silence notifications 'never'.

Once these modes were all deleted, and focus was turned off, then 'pings' returned to my messaging.

Hope this might help some people.

It's a pretty amateur hour bug from Apple and, frankly, if it continued I would have to get another phone because I just can't miss messages.

Just had this problem and altered notification settings , sounds, silent switch etc then found that “swipe left” any sender to find has a delete and a mute tab! Toggle this to unmute any senders may help if other settings are correctly set.
