iPhone 14 Notifications / text sounds not working

I spent weeks trying to figure out why the notification sounds would not work on my iPhone 14. I am giving credit to a post made two years ago by arryanalashea who found the answer. But it turns out it is the Bluetooth causing the problem. Once turned off everything works as it should. Why has Apple not fixed this?


iPhone 14, iOS 18

Notification Preview when Screen is Locked, Notification Alerts, Notification OFF, and much more...


  1. To get Notifications when the Screen is locked see the pic below which is self-explanatory
  2. To turn ON notifications selectively for apps, go to Settings > Notifications > Scroll Down to the App and turn ON notifications... Change notification settings on iPhone - Apple Support (IN)
  3. Some apps have their own notification settings over and above the iOS notification settings: An example of Instagram Notification settings is given below
  4. Help for Notification Alerts --> No Notification Alerts - Apple Community
