iPod touch cannot receive iMessages when asleep, for instance, in the morning when the device has been unused all night. Once the device has been woken up (by pressing home button and logging in), the messages will come through. The three 6th get iPod Touches and our WiFi iPad suffer from this. Why? iPhones do not have this limitation.
iPod touch, iOS 9.2.1
Hi Jerry,
I understand on all of your Wi-Fi devices, Messages don't show on the lock screen. You need to wake them up to get the messages.
Are they set to show Messages on the lock screen?
Notification Center - iPod touch
Set notification options. Go to Settings > Notifications. Tap an app to set its notification options. For example, choose to view a notification from the Lock screen. You can also tap Edit to arrange the order of app notifications. Touch
, then drag it to a new position.
Choose whether to show Today and Notifications View on a locked screen. Go to Settings > Passcode, then choose whether to allow access when locked.
Take care.
