Hello Newyork58,


We see you need help with notification sound for Mail on your iPhone. There are a few steps you can take to either resolve the issue or narrow down what's causing the problem. First, change the notification sound for Mail to someone else entirely.


  1. Go to Settings > Notifications > Mail
  2. Tap Sound
  3. Select any alert tone.
  4. Test incoming Mail.


If that works, the issue may have been with the specific tone you had set for Mail notifications. You can also make sure your iOS is fully updated to iOS 17.0.2. Go to Settings > General > Software Update. Then, restart your iPhone. Those steps usually resolve most issues. If you still aren't getting any notification sound specifically for Mail, next would be to reach out to Apple Support directly. You can reach them here: Get Support


You can also find the support phone number for your region at this link: Contact Apple for support and service


All the best.

Thankyou for your reply, I did try changing the sound and it didn’t make any difference, I’ve always used ‘tweet’ before

the only way I could get round this is to switch on banners and select Notification Centre, it’s a solution til Apple fixes the problem. I did contact them and they said to wait for ios17 updates, must be a glitch as it’s the same on my iPad
