Notification center issue - text hangs out of box

I’m in the same boat. Apple seems to be silent on this, and it’s been persistent through several updates. It happens with any notification, randomly. This includes iMessage, Gmail, CNN Updates, etc... Sometimes they work fine and other times it’s an issue. I recently upgraded to an 8 Plus from a 6S, and the problem disappeared as you’d expect it would, but only for a few days. Now it’s back and seemingly worse (more frequent).

So I actually went to Apple with this, and the genius told me he could solve it. First he had me back up to iCloud, because according to him this was better than an iTunes backup in case my backup was the cause of this notifications problem. I explained my photos don’t back up everything to iCloud but he said it would be fine. Then he plugged my phone into one of their computers, held sole of the phone’s in some configuration that was a three letter acronym, which supposedly is even more of a reset than just a hard reset, waited for that, which iTunes seemed to be managing, and then restored from iCloud and said All Done! Well, an hour later notifications started being buggy again, and now it’s the same, if not worse. Oh, and the kicker is I’ve lost my entire camera roll because I listened to him even though I knew better...

This is crazy that there hasn’t been any Apple support on this. Every day half of my notifications look terrible and are illegible. How is this still a thing? Apple, please get back to us. I’ve had my photos deleted by an Apple employee while he was trying to fix this and now I’m without 2 weeks of memories and still have this issue. This isn’t acceptable.

Happening on mine as well - comes and goes on my iPhone 8 Plus. Doesn’t impact ALL my notifications but sporadic which types of notifications it affects (i.e. calendar notifications, texts, etc.). Any resolution yet??

This is driving me nuts on my iPhone 6s plus. This issue doesn't impact my iPad Air 2 or my work iPhone 7.

Honestly, I've stopped using my 6s Plus and started using a secondhand LG v5. No problems with notifications there.

Please, Apple fix this issue.

Thanks!

I think it has to do with reminder notifications. Next time it happens swipe up to the "earlier today" notifications a few swipes and then back down and you will see the reminder notification. Further more, if you try to open the notification from the lock screen it will open up reminders. At least for me.

I'm having this same problem. It seems to come up for a couple days every few weeks. Restarting, hard restarting, accepting or clearing all the notifications, force-quitting the notifying apps, and turning notifications off/on all have worked occasionally but not worked many more times. There seems to be no systematic solution to this - my problems do still persist. I'm on an iPhone 7 running iOS 11.2.5, but this has been going on for at least a few subversions, perhaps for a half a year or more.

I’ve been following this thread for a couple of months now, and decided to add my name to the list - as I’m having this problem occur with almost every notification (messages, calendar, reminders, etc). I’m using an up to date iPhone 6S Plus.

I have been having this problem for several months. Happens on my iphone 6 and ipad Air 2; IOS is up to date, and has been. I havent checked to see if the 'overflow' occurs with the same text on both devices. Cannot understand why this isn't fixed yet.

After a long and unsuccessful trip to the Apple store, and 4 hours on the phone with AppleCare (literally, I added all the call times up), the engineers are “working on it”. I escalated this as much as I could and eventually went back to the Apple store and convinced them to give me a new phone. This was last night. I’ve been enjoying everything working the way it should, the way it is advertised; until about noon today (18 hours into getting the phone). I’m so fed up. Especially at how hard it was just for them to do something for me, giving me a new phone to try. You talk to these people with an issue and they just want more and more from you, and tell you to stand by. 4 hours of my time not including the first Apple visit plus screen sharing my Mac, and until I really got mad, all they said was they’d get back to me. This isn’t how premium companies/brands operate. If I got a Patagonia jacket and the pocket zipper kept getting stuck, they’d send me a new jacket ASAP and say sorry for the inconvenience. Apple just puts you down and ***** all the info they need from you. Everyone, please spend the time calling and bugging the **** out of this company so we can help each other, getting them to wake up. The last guy I talked to tried to tell me some line about how just bc I say there are a lot of people with this issue, doesn’t mean in the grand scheme of it all it’s a large number. Well it does if you’re one of those people!

I had the same problem, and un sign in for the beta update on my 6plus iPhone. Problème solved on the 11.3 beta5 update ! It was a nightmare ! I finally can tell that the 11.3 update will fix this issue.

Any luck finding a resolution TCgun? I have the same issue and I can’t figure it out
