I am not receiving push notifications on my iPhone after iOS 18 update

Turn on Standby mode

I had the same issue with native Mail app not notifying on lock screen, had 3 advisors 2 at Senior team level to diagnose the issue and not working. I dont use icloud email but the yahoo gmail and POP mails.

I have tried force restarting, deleting and reinstall Mail app and even reset iphone to a new iphone and downloading all apps from icloud! Doesnt wotk! I can get lock screen notifications from other apps even the third party apps but not from the native Mail app.

Its annoying when you hace to login to see the mails.

I think it is a bug with the iOS and when i checked my wife's iphone seems it is also affecting her iphone.

I actually scheduled a visit to  store and to get the technician to check my iphone probably the software or configurations etc. Not sure if they can get it done.

Not sure if they can make things work.

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!

I believe the issue has had to do with either of two things: 1. Android to Mac messages, or 2. Android/ web-based messages that are related to things like 2FA codes and similar. Even after 18.2, this aspect still doesn't seem to properly work. I do not get notified for these on my Messages app with a red mark and a banner also does not appear. It may even be related to particular websites. Sometimes I get the notification and sometimes I don't.

18.2.1. seem to have fixed the Android to Mac issue.

I am also having the same issue with notifications not appearing on locked screen. I only know that I have a notification because the notification is sent to my iwatch. I spent 1 1/2 hrs in the Apple store yesterday trying to sort the issue and the only way to seemed to fix it (only until this morning) was the unpair and then repair my iwatch. I don't like having to constantly pick up my phone to look but I missed so many important messages because I didn't realise it was happening.

Is there a way to roll back to the previous IOS version?

I can concur with the notifications issue as still being persistent, but it now more annoying with the new iOS 18.4 update installed. With 18.3 push notifications would reach the phone, but the screen would remain off, with only an audible chime sound, or a notification bar would appear on the screen when the screen is powered on manually, but would be a blank bar or multiple blank bars. Now with 18.4, the iPhone 15P does not even turn on the screen or has any chime sounds, no notifications awareness of any type. Reset notifications sounds to difference sounds, same issue, no improvement. Completely unreliable phone, Awful QA from Apple on this latest iOS update.

I just bought a Ring doorbell camera. It won't do ring alerts on my iPhone 16e with iOS 18.4. I'm very frustrated. I tried all the "fixes" that I found online. Nothing works.

It works just fine with my phone running iOS 18.4. I suggest you try deleting and re-installing the app.

I am not receiving email notification sound after recent 18.2 update

call Apple create a complaint

please fix immediately

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.

Good point made. I’m having the same issue with my iPhone 14 Pro after upgrading to iOS 18.1. I thought I had left the iPhone in “Do Not Disturb” or I “silenced” the iPhone. To add a bit of mud to the issue, the alerts for messaging are not being sent to my Apple Watch 7 which I rely on while out in the field and lugging my photography gear.

Same issue. IOS 18 in 13 pro max, no push notifications.

first time ever, considering Samsung to replace iPhone. Rely on emails for business, can’t get any notifications. Very annoying situation. I hope Musk comes with Tesla phone.

This is also the case for me w my iPhone 16 in the standby mode (whether on or off). I have logged out/in, turned off my phone properly, quadruple checked any and all settings against my previous phone’s settings and don’t know what to do next.

Just updated to 18.1.1.

issue remains. The only app that works is my Eufy security app

no messaging apps work, the ones you can reinstall I have to no avail.

If my phone is unlocked and the screen is active they do work which defeats the object.

I also have an Apple Watch and this is compounded/linked as that has an issue with no haptics working since upgrading.

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!
