Mail Notifications Broken on iOS 18.2?

Is anyone else having issues with Mail notifications on iOS 18.2? I'm only getting notification badges—no banners or notifications on the lock screen. I've double-checked my settings and even disabled notification categories, but still no luck. Screenshots of my settings are included. Any ideas?

Go to settings-notifications-mail-customize notifications and change under badge count to all unread messages. After this, you should get the notification badge.

Yes, it now wakes the phone to notify me with the email. Prior to enabling Remind Me and Primary Inbox, I would only hear a sound (I do not have haptics enabled)--but that isn't acceptable if you're away from the phone. Now, with a simple tap, I can see the email on the screen (like Messages) without having to unlock the phone.

I too am having a problem with email notifications in the Apple Mail app. I get no badges no banners and no notification sounds. When I open the Mail app it connects to the server and downloads whatever Email is there, but it doesn’t do it in the background on its own, even though push notifications are turned on. I spent an hour or two with tech-support on it with no resolution. They had to escalate the ticket, but I haven’t heard back yet. I don’t remember this issue happening with the Gmail app.. I start using the Mail app because with the update is actually become functional.

Everyone with the iOS 18 is having problems with their email notification sounds Apple doesn’t seem to care there’s been thousands and thousands of complaints updates aren’t fixing the issue in the long run apples not what it used to be. May go back to android frustrating after now spending all this money on an iPhone 16 Pro Max
