I am not receiving push notifications on my iPhone after iOS 18 update

After the iOS 18 update I no longer receive push notifications on my Lock Screen. I have to open the apps to see that I receive a message hours ago and never received the notification. iPhone 13 Pro

I couldn’t agree more with you. For those who rely on notifications such as for medical purposes, as well as those who rely on them for everyday tasks.

Their support doesn’t warrant the heavy price tag of their products, you’d think they would be able to resolve an issue such as this.


Come on Apple!!.. it’s unacceptable to expect people to pay for a product that doesn’t function as intended.

The issue appears to have been introduced in iOS 18 and remains unresolved, with later updates like 18.1 and 18.1.1 expanding the problem to more devices (including mine, which wasn’t affected before 18.1.1). This suggests Apple hasn’t addressed the root cause but instead inadvertently extended the bug. I sincerely hope they resolve this soon, as notifications are one of the iPhone’s most essential features.

Hi,


Got the problem after installing 18.1.1 and I've tried all the different options mentioned here.

WORKS for me (iPhone 12): Only one thing works and it's reinstalling the app.


I guess when a new app asks for permission to send notifications, that fixes the problem (mends the connection between the app and the iOS notification system somehow...)

Problem is that you only get that on first install, not after... I don't want to reinstall 100+ apps and login to most of them...

itz0xy - NO! Do not follow these steps! Unnecessarily resetting all of your settings, especially WiFi passwords setting, etc., is useless since these steps do not resolve the issues with notifications. All you’re left with is a phone that cannot connect to all of your saved WiFi networks and still does not receive any notifications. This is an Apple iOS issue!! And apple needs to get off their seats and get it in gear to fix this!

Good point made. I’m having the same issue with my iPhone 14 Pro after upgrading to iOS 18.1. I thought I had left the iPhone in “Do Not Disturb” or I “silenced” the iPhone. To add a bit of mud to the issue, the alerts for messaging are not being sent to my Apple Watch 7 which I rely on while out in the field and lugging my photography gear.
