Chat GPT ftw. I called Apple support, and they were very helpful, but I was going through everything I already tried. What worked was step 5, "Reset Phone," and creating a 'Do Not Disturb schedule, then turning it off."
Restart Your iPhone: Sometimes, a simple restart can fix minor software
glitches that might be causing the issue with the notifications.
Press and hold either the volume button and the side button
until the power off slider appears.
Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to
turn off.
To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button
(on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo.
Check Notification Settings for Each App:
Go to Settings > Notifications.
Tap on the app for which notifications appear silenced.
Ensure that the "Allow Notifications" toggle is
turned on and choose your preferred alert styles (Lock Screen, Notification
Center, Banners).
Update Your iPhone:
Ensure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS. Go
to Settings > General > Software Update. If an update is available,
download and install it.
Check Do Not Disturb Settings:
Even though Focus mode is off, double-check that Do Not
Disturb (a feature within Focus on newer iOS versions) is not enabled. Go to
Settings > Focus > Do Not Disturb to verify.
Reset All Settings:
If none of the above steps work, you might need to reset all
settings. This will not erase your data but will reset system settings like
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Notifications, and Privacy settings.
Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone
> Reset > Reset All Settings.
Check for Any Custom Focus Modes:
Sometimes custom Focus modes might be affecting your
notifications. Make sure there are no active Focus modes that you might have
overlooked. Go to Settings > Focus and review any setups you have.
Contact Apple Support:
If the problem persists, there might be a more complex issue
at play. Contact Apple Support for professional assistance or visit an Apple
Store for hands-on help.
