iOS11 notifications disappearing from lock screen

There are two types of notifications: Temporary and Persistent.

You can select which ones you want in Settings > Notifications.

If still an issue, perform a Restart.

Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

I've tried that but still have the problem. The messages disappear from the lock screen in a matter of seconds. I don't even have time to see who they're from before they go. If I'm using the iPhone normally then the notification stays permanently.

I'm having this problem too and it's really annoying. It doesn't have to do with the temporary vs. persistent for the banners. I'm surprised more people aren't having this issue. I rely on my lockscreen to tell me if I have a text message, if it doesn't show on the lockscreen, or in older notifications, then I don't think I have one. When I unlock the phone, the badge app icon will show unread text messages. As far as I can tell, this is only occurring with text messages, not mail, phone, etc.

There is no way.
But you're lucky they just disappear.
Mine, I can't even swipe down to access notifications as the whole thing crashes.
I can't even use volume up or down but the home button and touch screen do work.
Only a hard reset takes care of it. But it happens every now and then.
Now with my iPhone 8 plus, I have yet to encounter it. But I do get tons of crashes.

Here's a picture of my 6s. Notice I have no icons up top? It means the whole thing has crashed to a point of no control center, no notification screen, no "search" screen. No swipe left/right.

iOS 11 is just garbage.

I chatted with an Apple Support rep who says you have to update your iPhone from iTunes on a computer. He claims this issue happens to people who updated their iPhones to or after 11.0.1 from their phones, and if you update from a computer it will solve the problem. If you've already updated to iOS 11.1, follow these directions to override: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201263

I am not at home now and so haven't tried this. But curious to know whether others meet with success.

If you (or someone else with this issue) have the time and would like to help possibly get a fix for this issue follow the instructions here to get a log of what's going on when the problem happens:

Since I don't have the problem I can't do it myself.

On iOS 11 when notifications are at a large number they are put into the notification tab which can be accessed from the lockscreen by simply swiping from the lower middle screen up and there you’ll find all your recent notifications.

Mine gets working for a day but will blow out. It may be a notification from a program is bad. I am going to stop all notifications and see if that helps then add a program at a time to see which one it is that’s crapping on the this. Also may be a widget so was going through them already as I have a bunch of junk there.

I’m having this issue as well. I’ve tried changing banners from temporary to persistent but being “persistent” just got on my nerves. I’d be in the middle of something and it wouldn’t go away when my phone was unlocked. However, the notification still went away from my lock screen almost as fast as I received the message but sometimes the message stays, or it’ll keep one message and clear others. Very frustrating! I have a 6S and wondered if it was just this phone because there’s been other issues, too. I went to bed last night with one message on my screen then woke up to nothing on my lock screen and had 3 more messages.

I’m having the same issue, if I don’t swipe into the message notification straight away and leave it sitting there, within minutes it has disappeared. It leaves the little “1” on the messages app but no push notification anywhere. I’ve also had massive glitches with the notification centre where, say I have a Facebook messenger notification, then a couple of Twitter notifications underneath, the Twitter notification directly below the messenger notification will overlap the messenger notification and appear as a twitter notification. So I’ll have the same “Twitter notification” in there twice, but when I swipe to open the one that was originally a messenger notification it will get into messenger even though it appears as a twitter notification. Does that make sense?? It’s driving me crazy.

I’m having the same issue, if I don’t swipe into the message notification, and instead leave it sitting there, it just disappears. It leaves the little “1” on the messages app, but no push notification anywhere. It's driving me crazy. I've tried everything, from uninstalling specific apps, to turning off my Apple watch, to completely resetting my phone and set it up as new. Nothing works! I've turned off "show in history" for now, as this thread says... hopefully that does something. iPhone 8, iOS 11.0.3. I hope this is fixed soon!

I’ve been struggling with this same problem since iOS 11 upgrade on my iPhone 7. I tried all the little tricks folks have posted like change zoom, etc. but nothing worked.

I just did a ‘Reset All Settings’ maneuver and it actually appears fixed. Good luck!

I have updated to the most recent software of 11.1 and this issue hasn’t been resolved. I have noticed that turning off show in history has kept the notifications on the lock screen but this is unacceptable as a fix!

Please solve this ASAP apple

Agree with posters above - I also had this issue in iOS 10 on my iphone SE. Thought upgrading to new OS and new iPhone would resolve it. Am extremely disappointed that even after a full factory reset this is still happening. Only solution so far has been to turn off "show in history", but as poster above notes, this is not a good "solution", it's a workaround.

I also noticed this bug on an iPhone se running iOS 10 and am experiencing it with an iPhone 8 running iOS 11.1. Has anyone experienced this bug before iOS 10 or did it only start to occur in iOS 10 and beyond?
