iPhone X notifications not working

Nope, it doesn’t fix it. Did that with the local Apple Store’s hep. It doesn’t fix it. They gave a replacement and it didn’t solve it either. I have learned to live with it. After nearly ten years with Apple, they have seriously made me rethink my loyalty to their products. Most likely will never buy again an Apple. iPhone X fixed my blind devotion.

I noticed that a lot of my text message were set to Hide Alerts when I switched to the iPhone X. If you press the i in the upper right corner of the text message, the Hide Alert was switched on. Don't know why. Every time I received a text I had to switch it off.

This is what I had to do in order to get notifications from my Ring doorbell working.

I have an apple watch, so I had to perform some extra steps.

1) Settings->Notifications->Show Previews->Always

Note that I tried doing this on my individual app, but it did not help. I had to set the entire overall setting to "Always".

2) Watch->Notifications->Ring = Off

By turning the watch notifications off for my specific app, plus setting the "Show Previews" to "Always" I get the sound notifications on my phone.

Oh, and I don't think that this helped, but I also went into each of the applications I wanted audible notifications for and changed the notification type to persistent. I don't think that this caused me to be able to hear them, but I thought I would mention it JIC.

I was having same issue with 7 plus .

I went to control panel and made sure is was not enabled then went on side of phone above volume and flipped it toward me .

They can so easily be turned off by accident .

I’m having the same issue with my iPhone X. I don’t receive notifications on my phone. My DND is off and all settings allow for notifications. I never had this issue with my iPhone 6s, this is very frustrating. Any one have any luck with getting it fixed? A hard reset didn’t fix it either.

Thanks for your suggestion - worked like a charm!

I

thought I’d tried everything and none of it made a difference, not the “check Do Not Disturb” and not any resets.

I decided to check this site once more . . . and there was your quick fix.

Thanks again.

I had this issue too. My phone was setting to Do Not Disturb mode when I locked it. Pull down the menu from the top of your screen and check if a moon icon is lit. You can turn it off here or under Settings—> Do Not Disturb

I tried every fix that was on offer as I tried to address the LACK of CONSISTENT notifications in Messages on my iPhone X. I did get the odd notification for a couple of contacts, but did not receive notifications for ALL contacts. Such inconsistencies render Messages rather useless.

Then I decided to check this site one last time, hoping that somebody had a new (and productive) solution to finally fix this issue before calling Apple directly.

The post by GuitarPlayersAnonymous where he references this issue within iOS 11 on 18 February fixed the problem for me! He suggested going to the messenger app where there is a listing of your messenger contacts. Simply slide each contact to the left where You will be asked if you wish to HIDE or SHOW

notifications for each of your contacts within Messages. For whatever reason, the majority of people listed in Messages on my iPhone X were set to HIDE alerts. I simply followed the suggested fix of GuitarPlayersAnonysous and PROBLEM SOLVED!

I still don’t understand WHY this step needs to be done, as I’ve never had this issue on any of my previous iPhones. But, I’m now receiving notifications for all my texts: problem solved. Why not give it a try? Thanks again, GuitarPlayers Anonymous, and good luck to everyone else in resolving this issue.

I have the iPhone X and had the problem where notifications such as from Amazon for deliveries etc would pop up on the screen in locked mode, but there would be no sound to alert me to them, even though everything was set to on! (Text messages worked fine though). The only thing that turned the alert sounds back on for me was doing a hard reboot:

To perform a hard reboot on the iPhone X, press and quickly release the volume up button and do the same for the volume down button. Then press and hold down the right hand side button (ignore the slide off option that shows up) keep the button held in, the display shuts off after about 10 seconds, keep holding the side button in until you see the Apple logo/boot screen, then let go of the side button. The phone will then boot up as normal.

Did you get this figured out/resolved? I am having the same issue.

you have to chose the notification options to Persistent from Temporary inside the App Notification. This solved my problem. Thanks

same issue. no apple watch enabled. just missing tons of notifications. no alerts nothing

Me too! Went through the whole thing and had to erase and restore.
