No notification sounds after new iOS 18 update on my iPhone

This happens randomly. Sometimes the sound for a text will work and other times it won’t. I have to to turn my phone off and back on again for the sound notifications to work again. Then later, the sound will stop working again. I have done all the troubleshooting. And that still does nothing. Hopefully Apple is aware of the bug and will create a fix.

I had the same issue on my iPhone 14Pro running iOS 18.2. Started after going to iOS 18 as far as I can tell. Thank you to those who responded with their conversation from Apple Support. I triple checked all settings and even tried to create a custom focus to no avail.


The solution that worked was the suggestion to go to Settings>Accessibility>Face ID & Attention, and then turn off Attention Aware Features. This finally solved the problem for me.


Thank you!
