Sometimes there's no sound on notifications after iOS9 update

Yeah, same for me, I've tried every version and they all had this issue. I've been on 9.1 beta3 for about 3 days now and I haven't had issues. I'm happy to report that at least for me beta3 resolved this issue, and in general it runs really well. Maybe someone else can try it to confirm. But it's working well for me.

I Have updated to 9.1 beta 3 and been using it for about 10 hours now. my notifications have been working fine. Looks like this update has fixed the bug. I also agree that this build feels more stable and smooth on my iPhone 6. I hope this fixed the notification issue for everyone. So far it's been working well for me.

I Have the same issue i updated to ios 9.0.2 but not slove thete is no sound for notifications, text tones please apple resolve this issue

That's great to hear. Hopefully 9.1 isn't too far away.

I tried ios 9.1 beta 3
it did not work for me
some notifications keep coming without sound

i have apple watch

testing whatsapp

I think there is work around for some of us but not a total fix. For me it's associated with my Apple Watch running os2. When I have my watched locked or off my iphone gets all its messages with sound. If the watch is locked I get all my messages.

Here is the forum topic:

Apple Watch Dictation not working in Messages after OS2 update

Apple still needs to fix this problem

Finally figured this out!!! Had similar problem with my husband's iPhone 6 when he upgraded to OS9. No alert were working - texts, email, etc. Would only vibrate. Tried re-booting, checking Do Not Disturb settings with no avail. We recently bought an new clock radio with Bluetooth capability and I could hear my husband talking on his phone through the radio. Went into Bluetooth settings, found the device and told it to Forget It. Problem solved and life it good again! :-)

Same here, iPhone 6, iOS 9.0.2. Another is of not clearing the notifications from notification center, I have to restart the phone to clear the notifications. How do they release an OS with such bugs, don't they have any quality testing or something ???? 😟

The thing that bothers me most is that people have been complaining in this thread for two weeks now and no Apple rep. have written a word about it.

This is not normal. Overexpensive devices with poor support.

Thumbs down Apple!

You can report problems to apple at apple.com/feedback; by posting here you're just sharing your experience with other users who might have found a solution to your problem. This isn't a forum where you should expect a response from Apple representatives.

If you need to contact Apple Support, go to apple.com/support or make an appointment at a nearby Apple Store. If you have AppleCare, you'll probably have a great experience — I always have. And when I haven't had AppleCare, I've been surprised at the comparatively low cost of Apple's out-of-warranty repairs and replacements.

Calling these discussions "Apple Support Communities" might not be ideal; but it's not a place where Apple is likely to respond to your complaints, or even hear them.

I still think doing a 9.0.2 backup/reinstall/restore in iTunes did the trick for me. It's been about a week now, and the problem hasn't returned.

After you make your backup (and be sure to encrypt your backup, so it saves all your network passwords, etc.), just be sure you're clicking the "Restore iPhone…" link in the "iPhone [X]" section at the top of the window, not the "Restore Backup…" button in the "Backups" section. (At least, I think those are the labels to the best of my memory. Please correct me if I'm wrong — and I only know the Mac iTunes layout. Your Windows mileage may vary.) You'll get a clean 9.0.2 install with clean firmware, and then you'll have the option of restoring your backup. Even though it sounds scary and you think you might be wiping out all your settings, you'll get everything back when you restore. I've been much happier with my phone since then.

Hi,

I'm not really familiar with iTunes backup: what does it backup exactly? For example, I have a lot of Spotify music downloaded on my iPhone (for offline access), will it be backed up as well?

Thanks for your help.

I'm sorry, I don't know — I'm not a Spotify user, so I don't have any experience with that. Do they offer their own customer support? That might be a good question for them.

Same here I thought the issue was was with 9 and my 6 Plus but it continues with my new 6s Plus

I confirm that iOS 9.1 beta 3 didn't fix the bug. I'll try the backup and restore as mgrad92 described it and let you know.
