after updating my iphone 5s to 8.3 last night, I Can no longer hear my text sound alerts. I have changed it to 6 different sounds and I can hear them when I change them, my ringer etc is working just fine and my volume it turned up to max, my bluetooth is not on and my do not disturb is off, any suggestions?
thanks
iPhone 5s, iOS 8.3
Hey pknewman,
It may help to force close all open apps, then reset your iPhone.

Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If you're still not hearing your notification sounds, the next step would be to reinstall iOS on your device by placing it in Recovery Mode, then choosing Update in iTunes.
- Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
- Put your device in recovery mode.
- When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn onhttps://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201412
