Invitation notifications on iPhone calendar don't work

Even tough both options are switched on, I never receive notifications if either an invite I have sent gets responded to (only know if I look at the details of each event) or any invitations I have been sent (only know when in calendar and they show in the inbox), any ideas why this is so, and how to fix it? It's frustrating! Thanks

Hello Karenmg79,

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.

I understand that you never receive Calendar notifications if an invite you sent gets responded to. They only show in Calendar and your inbox.

I suggest using the steps in article: Use Notifications on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch , specifically:

If you don't see notifications for a specific app

To get notifications, connect to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. If you don't get notifications for a specific app, try these steps:

Make sure that the app supports notifications. Go to Settings > Notifications, select the app, and make sure that Notifications are turned on.

If you have notifications turned on for an app but you're not receiving alerts, the alert style might be set to None. Go to Settings > Notifications and check that your Alert Style is set to Banners or Alerts.

Make sure that you’re signed in to your Apple ID. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores and enter your Apple ID and password.

Make sure that Do Not Disturb is turned off. Go to Settings > Do Not Disturb and tap Manual if it's turned on.

If you’ve recently installed an app or restored from a backup, open the app to start getting notifications.
