How have you configured notifications on your Apple Watch? Remember, if the iPhone screen is locked, the notifications will come to the watch. Proximity to your iPhone doesn't matter. It only matters if the iPhone screen is active at the time a notification arrives. If its locked (screen not active), the notification will come to your watch, so you need to make sure you have configured notifications correctly on your Apple Watch. Personally, I use Haptics on my Apple Watch (not sounds) and I have it set to Prominent, so I get a pretty hard tap on my wrist.

I just went through them again, changed sounds, checked haptics... the only thing I haven't done a reset on is my watch so I'll try that. I do have an iPad and iPad mini, but in the process of trying to figure out what's going on I've totally turned off messenger on them. I think my next thing is I have an apple store near me, I'll make an appointment and bring a kid with me with their phone to let them see what's up..

Check item 5 on this webpage https://www.imobie.com/support/iphone-not-alerting-me-of-texts.htm#q5

A solution I only found here. Not just the crescent moon icon but the silent mode icon. Every one of my messages had the silent mode icon attached to it. How that happened is a virtual mystery.

I was having some of the same issue and discovered somehow I had a version of Do Not Disturb on when I looked inside the Focus settings. There is a "Hide Badges" setting that was on. I turned that off, the DND settings for key applications and, lo and behold, everything started working again.

I had the same problem with the same HW. Tried all the recommendations without success. Finally googled how to turn Do Not Disturb off. That worked! The iOS 18 bug must be related to the Do Not Disturb feature. I’ll wait for a fix bf using this during my sleeping hours and driving, again.


To turn off do not disturb:


Swip across screen to get to control center. Toggle off - do not disturb.

SOLUTION:if nothing has worked and your messages are not in hide alerts and notifications not even popping up in notifications center just go to settings -general-transfer or rest iPhone -reset-reset all settings

then it should start working instantly again when phone starts back up and nothing on your iCloud should get deleted either
