iPhone 13 Pro notifications

Rosa_Damascena

My iphone has become selective about what it chooses to notify me of - this is confined to a few apps, notably Gumtree and Olio (both of which have put me off posting freebies as it becomes a task in vigilance to monitor messages) and Ring. Yet others appear to work - such as Boots, BlueLightCard, Fitness.

This actually started some weeks ago, since then I have checked the settings (notifications turned on), switched it on an off numerous times and run a couple of IoS updates.

Are there any other fixes I could try before schlepping up to my nearest Apple store?

So you are wanting to receive notifications but arent?

You've checked that notification for those apps are on and set to Banners as a minimum? You've also checked those apps have the right things triggering notifications? 

You presumably dont have any Focus turned on?

Have you checked the Apple Intelligence on Priotised Notifications and Summarise Notifications? Probably turn both of those off

Focus and Apple Intelligence - both new concepts to me! Every day is a school day.

Just checked, and nothing is activated on Focus. Apple Intelligence opens up a whole new world but is only available to the 15/16 models, so again not applicable. I cannot get over the new world it opens up to the tech savvy!

Well, its not been all plain sailing for them so far... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cge93de21n0o 

Not limited to Apple either, Google's AI for a while answered "how many muslim presidents of the USA has there been" with "The United States has had one Muslim president, Barack Hussein Obama"


Focus is a useful tool, especially if you use your phone for both work and home, you can set profiles so your kids text messages dont appear on screen when at work and your work Teams messages dont appear at the weekend etc.

Agreed @DullGreyGuy - RIRO (first introduced to me by a lecturer in 1992) applies!
