iOS 27 Text Notifications Are Silent

Hi all! After upgrading to iOS27 my text notifications stay silent.


Of course, the ringer is off and I have no active focus on. Also Ringer slider in settings is up.

I assume there are others having the same issue / are there any known fixes?

Force restarting the iPhone might also help:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume up button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume down button.
  3. Press and hold the side button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the side button.

Sometimes after an update, I advise people with this problem to turn off notification sounds for a while, and after a while (like 24 hours or such ) turn them back on again. This tends to help for some users, both on this community and in my family
