There are no notifications from apps on my iPhone after update

I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max and I updated it to 17.5.1 and I have a problem with notifications not appearing from all applications such as messages - the messages are there but without alerts, bell, or even appearing on the main screen.

Hello shaker104, Did you check your Notifications in Settings?

Settings > Notifications > Notification Style and then the app you want to check. If that looks good then;

Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions, Click > Slide ON > Under Allow Changes To: check "Background App Activity" is set to "Allow".

If the above looks good then sometimes a Simple Shut Down for a minute and Reboot will clear things up.

I have the same issue after the update, but also my phone goes straight to voicemail when people call me, does not let me know to answer it and the people calling says it does not even ring. All notifications on all apps will not work, and imessage app does not even have the little numbers saying how many messages if any you have, I have to open the app to see if anyone has messaged me. I have checked the notification settings, nothing changed, its all turned on and I have shut down and re-started several times over the last few days, and when my phone re-starts it does not go through the process it usually does when it shuts down and acts like it just went to sleep, not shut down. UGH I am beyond frustrated and hope they come out with a FIX quick!!!

Exactly the same issue. Works when I have my Apple Watch on me but if it’s locked and charging. I even get the banner and I turned on the led light to flash as the notifications are silenced.


since I put my phone down screen side up I miss the flash!


wth did Apple change in what was a short update from 17.4.1. Only 300mb for me to download and install it.


bug fixes introduced more bugs.

Did anyone find a fix for the notifications bug?

For me mostly happens with WhatsApp on iPhone 13. Sometimes the notifications doesn't come when the phone is on lock screen, only the red dot on the app. I have tried EVERYTHING and the problem persists.

Started with IOS 17.4 and still now with IOS 17.6.

I have also an iPhone 11 and it works just fine. Both phones have the same settings.
