Line through bell icon for all texts

On a 16 ProMax with iOS 26.1 I have a line through the bell. Every text had a line through the bell. I turned all

of them on but it doesn't help.

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 26

There is a known Messages bug affecting some newer iOS builds (including early iOS 26.x), where conversations appear muted even though alerts are allowed.

Fix:

Reset Notifications Only

(Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Reset → Reset All Settings)

This does NOT delete data.

It resets notifications, Focus modes, network settings, etc.

This usually clears the “muted icon on all conversations” glitch.
