Just now phone was locked and my sister sent me a text...no notification on my watch...no notification on my phone 🙄
Question, where all devices on or off, when this was occurring?
I still have issues, did all the suggestions n sometime I get notifications and sometimes don’t.
I’m having the same problem and yes, I noticed under everyone’s name. Hide alerts was turned on even though I did not do this. You have to change each contact individually. You have to turn that off or you won’t get a notification. It’s driving me crazy this needs fixed ASAP.
How have you configured notifications on your Apple Watch? Remember, if the iPhone screen is locked, the notifications will come to the watch. Proximity to your iPhone doesn't matter. It only matters if the iPhone screen is active at the time a notification arrives. If its locked (screen not active), the notification will come to your watch, so you need to make sure you have configured notifications correctly on your Apple Watch. Personally, I use Haptics on my Apple Watch (not sounds) and I have it set to Prominent, so I get a pretty hard tap on my wrist.
I just went through them again, changed sounds, checked haptics... the only thing I haven't done a reset on is my watch so I'll try that. I do have an iPad and iPad mini, but in the process of trying to figure out what's going on I've totally turned off messenger on them. I think my next thing is I have an apple store near me, I'll make an appointment and bring a kid with me with their phone to let them see what's up..
Not always the case. I struggle with same issue as decoju but have found that sometimes when I do get a notification, which is never consistent, I have gotten them on both watch and then phone. Consistency is the issue, or lack thereof 😣
I'm pretty sure when I was using my iphone 12mini, I'd get notifications on both my watch and my phone. Now that I have the 15pro, I lost my notifications. I did try powering down my apple watch and was thrilled to notice I was getting notifications once again. Thank you so much for the suggestion.
FWIW, prior to this, I tried a full reset, made sure I didn't have DND or Focus on, and made sure the sender of the texts wasn't muted.
But when my iPhone screen is active, the notifications don’t show up on my screen or over noise or on my watch. Nothing. No focus mode on. When the screen is locked they maybe go to my watch and at least show up on the phone screen.
Thank you Richard Swahn! You nailed it after I had tried everything else on my own and what else was suggested on this site! Weird though; why were two frequent contacts set like that?! Guess we'll never rec. explanation from Apple
Check item 5 on this webpage https://www.imobie.com/support/iphone-not-alerting-me-of-texts.htm#q5
A solution I only found here. Not just the crescent moon icon but the silent mode icon. Every one of my messages had the silent mode icon attached to it. How that happened is a virtual mystery.
It's 600% on iOS 17 because I did a factory reset on my iPhone 13 Pro Max I just got it like a year ago and it's 106,000% iOS 17 because my families are also having issue hopefully iOS 18 will fix all of this problem this is the reason why all of us are having this issue by the way my phone is brand new from apple.com it's not a refurbished device
I was having some of the same issue and discovered somehow I had a version of Do Not Disturb on when I looked inside the Focus settings. There is a "Hide Badges" setting that was on. I turned that off, the DND settings for key applications and, lo and behold, everything started working again.
I had the same problem with the same HW. Tried all the recommendations without success. Finally googled how to turn Do Not Disturb off. That worked! The iOS 18 bug must be related to the Do Not Disturb feature. I’ll wait for a fix bf using this during my sleeping hours and driving, again.
To turn off do not disturb:
Swip across screen to get to control center. Toggle off - do not disturb.
This is how my watch is set...I haven't tried changing anything else on this screen..I'm not getting a hard trap though either is there something else I'm missing?
Do you wear Apple Watch?
Have you opened the Apple Watch App (on your iPhone) > Notifications and made sure you've configured all the notifications to be what you want for each option?
