[iOS 17 DB3] Workaround for no iMessage notifications (lemm.ee)

I don’t know how many others have this issue, but ever since dev beta 1 I’ve been missing texts left and right. No notifications sometimes, perfectly normal notifications others. It’s definitely a bug, but I believe I found the issue and workaround.

If your phone is on mute (with the side switch), your watch doesn’t sound OR vibrate when a text message comes in. If your phone’s sound is turned ON, then your watch will vibrate or sound when a text comes in (whichever you have the watch set to) and your phone will stay silent.

So I guess the workaround is to leave your sound on, on the phone, all the time so that way your watch can deliver notifications…

That's interesting that the mute switch trick works for you. I've been experiencing this and keep sound on all the time.

Thanks for the tip! I have this bug all the time — only restarting devices has fixed it so far.

I haven’t had this issue. Have you reported? Restored?

Reported, yes. Restored, no. Too lazy! I’ve seen a number of people mention also having the problem, just not on this site. Turns out my trick may not be helpful for everyone with the issue though lol
