Text messages disappear from lock screen

So after updating to iOS 11.0.3, I will hear a text message tone alert on my phone, I’ll go look at my phone (locked) and the text message isn’t there. I have to unlock my phone and go to text messages to see what the message was (super annoying). I thought that changing the notification setting from “temporary” to “persistent” would fix this, but unfortunately it didn’t. If they could fix this ASAP that would be awesome. :)

Yep it’s not just the message app. In fact for me there’s only a few apps that continue to have their previous messages shown in the “history” (swipe down screen) feature. Luckily for me emails continue to stay on the lockscreen without disappearing as they are the only thing more important than messages for me. This started with ios11 and hopefully it will finish with ios12.

Same problem here,


I had my phone replaced after a long battle with Apple today about this issue and was told there is nothing wrong with the phone.


I am also experiencing extreme battery drains from apps that aren’t even open and ‘Siri’ whom I do not use at all accounts for 41% of my daily battery usage with the calendar following at 23%.


It has to be firmware related and the more of us that raise the issue, the greater the priority will be to address the issue
