iPhone not getting text notifications

I had the same issue! There was a moon appearing next to texts from my husband and I had no idea why! Swipe left (or right...I can’t remembet) when on a message from him and there is a “show alerts” icon.

Done. Totally fed up with this. It’s clearly a bug.... yes, others may have “solved” the problem with settings, but after all settings are correct, they will find they still have the underlying problem. I’ve now recreated it on four different iPhone 8’s. I can create the problem on demand. It’s a BT connectivity issue for sure.

Turning off bluetooth didn't work for me anyway. I've tried all the suggestions i can find and even some of my own and nothing works. I get vibrations and banners when I get text messages, but no tones. I was In an Apple store this week getting my iPad Pro gen 2 replaced because of a display issue and I showed hem a problem I was having on my iPhone 8 plus' control center screen. To fix that we reset all settings on the phone, but I'm not sure if that is when I started having the issue or if it was before that. I am on the latest beta versionon both devices. The iPad I had to set up as a new pad and install the beta and the restore my backup. I do have my iPad enabled to receive calls and messages from my phone, but I've always done that and not had this problem. I guess well have to wait for some genius to figure it out!

Followed the tips and found the Bluetooth switched off and text notifications came through. Switched it back on from the flip up on the screen and even though my ipad and iphone are side by side, the ipad notifies all texts and the iphone every second text without fail. Switch off blue tooth and both work. Mmmmmmm

It definitely has to do with bluetooth. When I disable bluetooth, then my notifications come back. Apple: That is not an acceptable fix. I need to have bluetooth enabled and still be able to hear when I get a text. Please fix ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried all the Bluetooth options and turned off do not disturb but none of the messages from some contacts showed up. Eventually I went through my messages contact by contact and in the conversation there is a small i in the top right hand corner. When I clicked on this alerts were turned off, turned it back on and all messgage alerts now being received. Hope this helps 🙂

Try going on SETTINGS>DO NOT DISTURB> make sure do not disturb is off,if it’s on then there will be a little moon next to the time at the top of your phone. By turning it off you will get notifications when phone is locked.This worked for me☺

This does NOT solve the obvious Bluetooth bug. It only solves the situation where you have turned on the do not disturb setting. There is an underlying Bluetooth bug whereby BT doesn’t transmit alert sounds etc when connected to certain BT devices.

i had hoped that iOS 11.3 would have solved this, but it hasn’t. And..... there are many on this forum that just don’t get it.... they still insist its the do not dusturb settings. Can’t help people overcome their idiocy.

Correct... I have a 2018 Subaru Impreza and a 2017 Subaru Outback. I bring my iPhone 8 into each, with BT on, and I don’t get any audio notifications (vibrations do work though). When I leave the cars, outside the BT range, everything returns to normal. I can repeat this all day long. Subaru was very interested in it, since they’ve been replacing units thinking it was a Subaru issue. Turns out, as you know, an Apple issue.

I have this issue too on a 6s and Watch 1st gen. I thought it was related to the automatic Do Not Disturb I was using when the phone connected to my car's hands free link. I disabled that, notification worked for a day, and now it's gone. Even when I logged in here, and got the 2 factor authentication, the message with the code did not notify me when it arrived. Some notifications from other apps get through to my Watch, but nothing on the iPhone.

This must be a bug in iOS 11. With over 4400 on this site alone, having this issue, you would think Apple would do something to fix it.

I have viewed most if not all the statements here and nothing worked for my wife's 6s.

I saw something about bluetooth , no joy, mute same thing. Do not disturb nope.

I went to a text that I had sent to her during one of my 20 or so test messages. In the upper right hand corner are 3 dots. clicked on them and it something about location, so I said yes to each of them. You should know that while I was on this site and trying to log in, Apple would not let me, they then sent my wifes phone a code, when they did that the [hone beeped.

After I did the locations, I tried again and the phone worked, that was 5 hours ago, I check every hour and it still works.

I recently got a 7plus to replace years of android use. I am so sorry I made the switch. In the over 10 years of android use I never had the issues I’m having with my iPhone in just a few short months. I am so frustrated with the notifications issue and find it completely irresponsible of Apple and unacceptable service. I still have an old android phone that I am going to reactivate and get rid of my POS iphone. This is ********!! I am calling Apple support tomorrow and if they give me dumb *** responses that will justify my decision. I have done ALL of the suggested fixes aside from standing on my head and counting to 10......nothing has worked.

I’m having this same problem and this might be the single handily most frustrating thing in the world. They need to fix this problem ASAP. I even went to the Apple store and they were so shocked they gave me a whole new phone....the next day THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD ON MY OLD PHONE IS OCCURRING ON THE NEW ONE. I started it up and set everything up as a new phone too and it is still messed up. It’s ridiculous and needs to get fixed. I just want to be able to know when someone text me and not have to go into the message app every time. Or even hear my phone vibrate as I got the text message but can’t even see the **** thing. It’s ******* me off and they need to fix it NOW.
