I couldn’t agree more with you. For those who rely on notifications such as for medical purposes, as well as those who rely on them for everyday tasks.

Their support doesn’t warrant the heavy price tag of their products, you’d think they would be able to resolve an issue such as this.


Come on Apple!!.. it’s unacceptable to expect people to pay for a product that doesn’t function as intended.

The issue appears to have been introduced in iOS 18 and remains unresolved, with later updates like 18.1 and 18.1.1 expanding the problem to more devices (including mine, which wasn’t affected before 18.1.1). This suggests Apple hasn’t addressed the root cause but instead inadvertently extended the bug. I sincerely hope they resolve this soon, as notifications are one of the iPhone’s most essential features.

After updating the new software 18 all notifications had no sound and did not pop up on the screen when it locked mood. Apple needs to ready look after this matter. My setting is all allow notifications to pop up on the screen now is not working!

Mine didn’t break until 18.2 update.

If this **** doesn’t get resolved soon, it’s going to be time to try Android.

I paid too much for this iPhone for it to not have simple functionality that I NEED for work.

At least offer an option to roll back these garbage updates that were clearly not regression-tested.

itz0xy - NO! Do not follow these steps! Unnecessarily resetting all of your settings, especially WiFi passwords setting, etc., is useless since these steps do not resolve the issues with notifications. All you’re left with is a phone that cannot connect to all of your saved WiFi networks and still does not receive any notifications. This is an Apple iOS issue!! And apple needs to get off their seats and get it in gear to fix this!

Hi,


Got the problem after installing 18.1.1 and I've tried all the different options mentioned here.

WORKS for me (iPhone 12): Only one thing works and it's reinstalling the app.


I guess when a new app asks for permission to send notifications, that fixes the problem (mends the connection between the app and the iOS notification system somehow...)

Problem is that you only get that on first install, not after... I don't want to reinstall 100+ apps and login to most of them...

I can see that this issue has been going on for a few weeks now. I installed IOS18.2 yesterday in anticipation that it would deal with the issue.. but no, sadly not.

I have reinstalled the Ring app (twice), I also turned the phone off completely and each of these actions worked for about 5 minutes then reverted to the bug issue of no sound notifications at all. I am missing Whatsapp messages and Ring doorbell notifications when my phone is locked, if unlocked it pings! What’s the point in that, ping is needed when the phone is not in your hands!


COME ON APPLE - PLEASE FIX THIS BUG!!
