No notification sounds after new iOS 18 update on my iPhone

I think most users know about and make use of those settings. But it's not related to any setting. The bug started with the update to iOS 18, ongoing in iOS 18.1. Here I'll get no notification sound or vibration-patterns for new incoming e-mail. I checked all settings multiple times. Only a banner in the notification center comes up, but I can't hear or feel that in my pocket. As I was supporter for Pixel devices, I had options to escalate such bugs to the next level. Are you able to als do so?

When the trend starts after the update that Sir says the update changed a core value somewhere some how that was unintended. Since the problem did occur until after update and its impossible to go back to 17.x to verify the problem then it leave the ios as the culprit. I have tried several of the solutions in this thread none have worked do far. The only one left to try is to set up a focus that is daytime specific. I have the exact same issue on my ipad pro that is running the latest ios as well. Developers are lazy this day and age from game to OS systems its rush to market and we get to be the beta testing team as we report the bugs they attempt to fix it. If i could roll my ios back to 17.x i would in a heartbeat.

My iPhone and iPad have the same problem NO alert sound when I get email, I phoned AppleCare he took over my iPhone and checked all the settings but couldn't find anything amiss. So have installed my emails on my Samsung so l now get notifications.

I have this issue as well. Tried all the suggestions and none seem to work. What does seem to work is turning off BT, at least for the last few hours (but notification sounds come and go, so I'm not sure it will stick). This isn't a resolution as I have several apps that I connect to via BT, but maybe others can see if this works for them.

I tried this but did not fix mine was kind of hopeful but then again no bt means so connections to the truck,watch and headphones. My sounds are so intermittent that at one point it seemed like the only email that gave sounds was spam lol but then even that stopped. I originally spent about total hrs with middle support help to where they took control of the phone gathered all kinds of data and engineers said yeah are aware of the issue. That was the last i heard from support.

The notifications for messages stopped when I upgraded to 18.3. The notifications for mail stopped when I upgraded to 18.4.2. Push mail stopped working with iOS 18, but just started working again with 18.4.2.

I've tried all the suggestions here that seemed to work for others and none of them work for me.

I absolutely refuse to delete and reinstall apps. That just tells me they don't know how their own software works.

I guess the only option is to "hope" Apple wakes up and fixes this. It's gotten to the point that I rue running any update because I know it will break something that was working just fine.

I do believe this was my issue as I did have a problem where the phone was in a Do Not Disturb. However it may have been because it had somehow been set to Smart Activation.

We'll see how long it holds up, but I did the 18.4 update and notification sounds are working with BT turned. Fingers crossed!

iOS 18.5 has fix the mail notification and sound , every time I get a new mail it give notification and the sound.

I am also experiencing lack of notifications on my mail app. I have gone through all notification settings and they are set correctly. This has only happened since ios 18 update which is an important point to make when trying to find a solution. The question is always “what changed since it was last working”. That has been the IT Support and Developer approach since anything ever started breaking.

Can this be sorted or a viable solution provided?

Outlook is the only one I would use, as I was not impressed with Google’s. Unfortunately I have a work profile using Outlook and it doesn’t allow me to keep my private hotmail as an additional account. So the better solution is simply for Apple to be aware and to fix it. Unless someone else has a free email client as good as Outlook.

Thanks for confirming it is an iOS 18 issue!

Is there any news about fixing this bug?

It is driving me crazy that the Mail app has stopped sending notifications. I miss emails every day that I need to respond to immediately to avoid keeping my partners and clients waiting for important decisions.

The bug appeared immediately after iOS 18 was installed and has still not been fixed in iOS 18.1.1.

Hello @UrbanLiver, I gave it a try, but that did not fix anything. To recap: attention awareness should only turn down the volume of the notification sound, but not disable it.

So, sorry, not a fix that works for me.
