No sound on iPhone after iOS 18 Update

Totally agree! Their update caused this! How much of my time do I waste???? Wake up Apple, my next phone is Android

Same literally like wtf and I tried all kinds of methods and restarting my phone

As well as no sound alert for emails I have found my clock alarms and timers muted. I was hoping IOS 18.0.1 would fix but sadly not

Wow. Some people have even worse issues! I hope Apple listens

I also tried ever suggestion even reset of setting which is a big pain!!! No fix! Apple we need an update to correct this problem please. I also need Bluetooth for my iwatch!

Got 16 pro

got ios18

got new airpod pro 2 that are suppose to help with hearing

now when I get a notification (text) it BLASTS sound and is deafening.

read forums and it says go to accessibility then To AirPods then “slide” the sound bar for notifications - problem is the bar/slider has disappeared.

yet another sound issue from the new and improved hardware and software.

I updated to 18 yesterday on my 15 pro max. I'm now getting a cackling sound when listening to music. Not continuous. It will do it, then the volume reduces. Also I have extremely reduced volume on incoming calls.

I have the same issue: there is no sound for email alerts after the iOS 18 update.

I started hearing the sounds today, but ONLY when I had it plugged in to charge. Once I removed the charger I stopped hearing the alert sounds for my emails. Weird

I use the iPhone email program, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 18

Doing a reset seems to be their go-to solution these days! I refused twice recently and was so glad I did! There’s an update too- 18.0.1. Keep looking through the support pages and call Apple tech support back too

Hi JohnB1964, Just curious, are the alerts you are not getting for a hotmail account or another? I am finding I get notifications for my hotmail accounts but not my Gmail or yahoo email addresses....wonder if this is a Push/Fetch issue with the new IOS update...?

Johnny, I’m going to first try Gmail and see how that goes because my main email account is Gmail. I have also read that Edison email app is good as well as Spark email app. So there’s three options. By the way, I wrote about questioning whether the problem with no mail app sounds was a fetch/push issue in my first post several days ago, in the beginning of this thread. With that said, I am still done with iOS Mail and the total loss of functionality. Let me know if any of those email apps (or another app you pick) and I’ll let you know what works for me and what doesn’t lol! Good luck.

I'm trying the Gmail app and I do get sound alerts with it. Also seem to get new mail pushed/fetched to it ages before Apple Mail app thinks about it. Just don't like it as much as Mail app but will use it till Apple sort it out

Hi JohnB1964...Just downloaded the Outlook App....all notifications work! I would like to change the sound for New Mail notifications, but not sure if allows me to add my own clip I was using in the IOS Mail app....but hey its better than not hearing an email come in. Let's hope Apple wakes up and helps

To JohnB1964JohnnyCanuck1964, KellyRobison, everyone who has changed to the outlook and Gmail apps…. You are now getting sounds which is great but are you getting Lock Screen notifications too? Please let me know and let me know what email app you are using. Thank you so much for your feedback! It will be greatly appreciated.

KellyRobison, thank you for sharing and responding to my question. I always DID receive Lock Screen notifications just no sound from the Mail app. So unless I am staring at my cellphone screen every second of the day, I never knew of any incoming emails because of no sound. I have always had it set to stack. Vocal alerts under accessibility was never set up so that didn’t apply to me. I was receiving all other notifications from all of the other apps, both third party apps and Apple apps, such as text, phone calls and voicemail, alarms, etc.
