If you’ve noticed that you’re receiving SMS texts and eMessages from people but aren’t receiving any notifications about them, you’re not alone. It’s far away. I’m one of many people experiencing an annoying bug where messages come in fine – but without a pop-up notification or even a normal red badge indicating that someone is waiting to read a new message.
Last month, MCummers Written about the growing reports of the problem on the new iPhone 12, 12 Mini, 12 Pro, and 12 Pro Max phones. But it also seems to affect people with older iPhones, so this looks more and more like an iOS 14 issue. More worrying about the error is that it is not Always Happens. I have noticed that some messages pop up on my screen like normal, but others are not quietly intelligent with me.
Those people are too big MCummers The thread has attempted to proceed with tasks such as closing messages or deleting and re-adding contacts on Mac. Some see that they receive notifications if messages force the app to close completely every time they send text. And in other cases, missing notifications only happen for pinned conversations, and unpinned contacts seem to do the trick. There have been sporadic reports of success with these short-term improvements, but they are not working for everyone. There is also this 42-page thread on the company’s support platform about ongoing frustrations.
Those who deal with this issue are understandably disappointed that Apple Play has not yet released a complete update. This is fairly basic stuff, and probably causes some annoying conversations between couples or friends when the recipient sits for hours without the recipient getting there. And if you’re hoping that when iOS 14.3 is released next week, everything will be fine. Preliminary reports indicate that a no-text-suggestions bug is present – at least in some cases – in the second release candidate build of iOS 14.3 that Apple Play passed to public beta testers yesterday.
Edge Apple has reached out to Paul for more information on the status of this bug and the company’s plans to fix it.
