My iPhone is telling people my notifications are silenced when they are not.
Just this morning, Messages suddenly started telling people (including my husband, who alerted me to it) that my notifications are silenced. The notifications are not ACTUALLY silenced on my iPhone—the notification still comes through on the screen, and if I take my phone off silent, it still makes a sound. I have read that this is a known bug. I updated my iPhone (SE 2020) to 16.4.1 about two and a half weeks ago, and I updated my Macbook Air 2020 to Ventura last week sometime. I also updated my iPad today in the process of troubleshooting.
I have tried the following:
- Turning my phone on and off
- Deleting all focus modes except DND (which can't be deleted)
- Deleting all schedules for DND
- Toggling DND on and off on all three of my devices
- Toggling "share across devices" on and off on all three devices
- Toggling "focus" on and off on Messages on all three devices
- Toggling "share focus status" on and off on all three devices
- Toggling "share from DND" on and off on all three devices
- Syncing Messages in iCloud
That runs the gamut of all the advice I've found online and all I can think of to do, except for a full restore of my phone, which, for obvious reasons, I'd like to avoid if possible.
Does anyone else have a possible solution or hack to try?
