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

If your Apple Watch gets notifications, no sound on iPhone notifications! If you turn off notifications on Apple Watch or turn Bluetooth off then you get sounds on iPhone. This is the issue since iOS 17

I was intrigued with this..but tried it and it didn't work. I think the person that mentioned that their phone doesn't make any sound when wearing their watch. This could be true..havent taken mine off yet to see. But lately my watch makes only the most subtle noise. oh well...the world of Apple...

Ffs, we have established that turning BT off enables the text tones, but when you rely on your watch as well as your phone it’s no help whatsoever.

this isn’t a bug, Apple in their wisdom created a subroutine of (OR and NOT AND)

I’m also having the same exact issues/problems. Very annoying! And cannot seem to get resolve from any of the “fixes” I find on line.

Same issues. Tech support has no idea how to fix this. This is so frustrating

Why do they have to change a bunch of setting in the phone to begin with. Makes you leary of updating, it's always something with every update.

I did try turning off the Apple Watch, and that fixes the problem for me. I did find this article on Apple's website, but it just does not make sense to me why they would design it to work this way...

About notifications - Apple Support

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.

Spent hours digging into this yesterday.

Failure of audio alert _may_ correlate with:

1. screen being black when message comes in, and/or
2. having powered down + powered up while physical audio switch is in "off" position

A Verizon rep once told me it might help to do a Reset:

>Transfer or Reset iPhone

>>Reset

>>>Reset All Settings (not quite as scary as it sounds)

This did work for me a time or two, but only briefly. Yesterday I repeated the reset, and the fail returned after testing by <reboot-with-physical audio-switch-in-off-position>. If the screen is black when the message comes in, audio alerts do not sound, even though visual banners will appear once screen is back on.

I have turned off all features requiring "Attention" (isn't the point of a notification that your attention can be elsewhere?). I have turned off all Focus. I have set Auto-Lock at 2 minutes, but still the screen goes black, preventing sound notifications, within about 10 seconds once it is on the Lock Screen.

The downside of Reset All Settings is having to restore your preferences one by one. In my case, that required about half a dozen fixes afterwards.

Hoping someone else can test this possibility further and suggest fixes.

Same issue on my iPhone 14 Pro Max running iOS 17.0.3. Has to be a coding issue in iOS 17. I don’t have the same issue on my work iPhone XR running iOS 16.7. Very frustrating.

I am having the same issue with the iphone 12. No sounds on text as well as other notifications. Wish I didn’t update!

Did not work.

Having focus on only lets you see what apps have notifications silenced. It did not fix the problem of no sound when you get a text message.

Wife has same issue. Found a work around of turning the bluetooth off on the watch.

This fix did not work for me.
