Hi Frank7092,
If you, too, are not notified of new incoming iMessage or SMS and are missing important texts from friends, family, and businesses, let me help! Here are some helpful solutions to successfully fix the issue of iMessage notifications not working on iPhone. Ensure iMessage is turned on; Make sure iPhone is not on silent or DND mode.
New iphone not receiving imessages is also usually due to carrier settings. This is usually because your iPhone has not been configured to receive SMS. Make sure you have turned on celluar data or have good Wi-Fi nearby. Turn to the home screen and tap Settings General About. Tap Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID (it will either be at the top or at the bottom) and select Sign Out. Toggle off iMessage (or FaceTime, if that's what's not working). Go to Wi-Fi in the Settings app and toggle Wi-Fi off and back on. Wait a few minutes, then toggle iMessage back on. Tap Send & Receive. Tap Use your Apple ID for iMessage. If the issue continues after 24 hours, follow these steps: Make sure that your device has the latest version of iOS or iPadOS. If you're using an iPhone, contact your carrier to make sure that you can send and receive SMS messages. I can receive iMessages via my mac but not on the phone. Other than that every once in a while a text makes it to the phone but overall every other text doesn't make it. I even tried just turning iMessages off and seeing if I can receive SMS but no luck.
Imessage Not Receiving On Mac
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I understand you have some questions regarding iMessage and Android devices.
'iMessages are texts, photos, or videos that you send to another iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac over Wi-Fi or cellular-data networks. These messages are always encrypted and appear in blue text bubbles. '
As stated above, iMessage is not available on Android devices.
'If you aren’t using iMessage, you can use SMS/MMS. These messages are texts and photos that you send to other cell phones or another iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. SMS/MMS messages aren't encrypted and appear in green text bubbles on your device.'
Your friends will always see your messages as green bubbles, if you are using an Android device.
You can read more about the differences within the resource I've linked below.
Cheers!
