iPhone 12 absolutely no notifications after upgrading to iOS 17.1.1

I upgraded my iPhone 12 Pro to iOS 17.1.1 in this morning. Now I don't get any notifications (sounds, icons, previews, etc.) from any apps. I've done a lot of researchs and tried everything but still no notifications.


You need to fix this asap! It is negatively affecting my work.

I also encountered the same error with my iphone 12 pro max. After upgrading to iOS 17.1.1, no any notifications from all apps. I have tried resetting the iphone (data and network) as well as restarting the iphone several times, but still not worked.


Hopefully Apple can fix this error and release the patch via next updated version as soon as possible.

SOLVED!

I had the same problem and contacted apple thankfully they solved. They want to connect to my phone and even that notification didn't come.


(Before starting, please check your İmessage and Facetime. Addition to notification problem I also have FaceTime and Imessage wasn't working.)


Even they work fine, please try this:


Solving steps:

Go to: Settings>General>Transfer or Reset(don't worry you won't delete anything)>reset>location and privacy


Once you click to reset the location and privacy, then you have to turn off your phone and wait at least 30 seconds.


Turn on your phone and it must be solved.

The exact same thing has happened on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. This is SERIOUS !! Apps that are affected for me include security camera apps and all financial apps (ie,. banks, etc.).


I tried the Privacy & Location reset - that did not work. But it was a nightmare though - after this reset, I had to go through all my apps that use FaceID and reset. Thankful, no harm done.


But that got me thinking. ALL the apps that have stopped working after the 17.2.1 upgrade ALL use Face ID. ALL apps that continued to send notifications after this upgrade, do not use Face ID.


So come on Apple - that must be a BIG clue as to what is causing this very serious issue.


I haven't tried re-installing apps as this is a non-starter for me. I'm not going through the involved re-install of my financial apps - many of which will entail re-setting with the financial company - on the off-chance it might work.


THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE APPLE - WE NEED A FIX ASAP.

I had tried just now its work for my phone.

Go to settings > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings > Enter Your Passcode > Reset Network Settings > Auto Restart


Wait until phone start, wait a moment...... Restart your phone again... and try your apps.


Open refresh your apps, force stop (Slide Up, close your app), re-open app again.


Hope its help.

Many thanks for your update Workinsanity, and your work with Apple support - I'm sure all users that are suffering from this issue truly appreciate it.


Irrespective of whether it is a third-party that Apple use for Notifications, the code is still incorporated into the OS and therefore Apple's responsibility.


To be honest, I am extremely surprised, and very concerned, to learn that Apple is incorporating third-party code into their OS: especially, third-party code that has serious failings. I was always led to believe that Apple code was "Apple". Incorporating such external code into Apple's OS must raise serious questions on the robustness and security of Apple's OS?


With respect to your obvious experience, my results of the 2 solutions you mentioned are the complete opposite to yours:


    • Reinstalling the affected apps did not resolve the issue for me - I laboriously reinstalled 20+ apps, all to no avail.
    • The update to 17.3 did fix the issue for me for all apps - and remains the case even with update to 17.4.1


This is obviously a complex and convoluted issue, compounded by - what we now know - third-party code.


Nevertheless, this is a very serious issue that is having real-world detrimental effects and security issues.


For me, the issue stopped notifications from security cameras and financial/banking apps (amongst many, many others). The stopping of notifications from such apps has real-world security implications:


    • security camera apps no longer alert to unauthorised access
    • banking apps no longer alert to unauthorised use/fraud of one's bank account


Many other users have confirmed that this issue is seriously affecting their work.


As wrdman stated, "Apple is LONG overdue to address this issue".


Apple you MUST resolve this issue as a matter of utmost importance and priority - whether that be your own code or that of a third-party.

I found the solution to this issue!!!


All you need to do is turn off iMessage and FaceTime, force restart the device and reopen iMessage and FaceTime again.

After that you should also switch scheduled summary notifications off then back on.


Finally, wait about 15 to 30 minutes and the notification will slowly turn back to normal.


*My device: iPhone 12 Pro Max

The iPhone 17.1. Is the worst update yet? What are you doing? Trying to justify your IT people working for iPhone or Apple whichever. When my phone contract is up in the spring, I will be going back to android anything but Apple you have gone backwards instead of forward.!

I cannot receive messages I cannot receive text notifications even though they’re all set to do so. This is disgusting.

Hi Nidal...


Sorry to hear you are yet another victim of Apple's poor iOS updating.


As you may have read, this happened to me after updating to iOS 17. I tried everything - there was absolutely no solution. It was not fixed until iOS 17.3.


Like you, I've very recently updated to iOS 17.4.1 and - probably more by luck then Apple's design - so far at least, notifications continue to work (iPhone 15 Pro Max).


100s, if not 1000s, have suffered from this issue following various updates. And yet, Apple have remained silent - much like their notifications😱. Why Apple is not addressing this incredibly serious issue is beyond me.


So, I'm sorry to say, in my considerably experience researching and trying to resolve this issue, I think most likely you are going to have to wait until the next iOS update and hope that fixes it - or, if you have a backup, revert back to before the update if that is possible.


After much troubleshooting, I'm convinced that this issue is related to Face ID. For me, all apps that incorporated Face ID - whether enabled or not - were the ones where notifications stopped working. All other apps that did not incorporate Face ID continued to send notifications as normal.


It would be interesting to hear if that is the case for you?
