No sound for email notifications on iPhone 15 Pro after iOS 18.4 update

Same exact issue here since updating to 18.4 on an iPhone 16 Pro Max. Sounds for notifications worked just fine on 18.3.1, and those same settings remain now but no sound is played when an email arrives. Tried toggling them off and back on, no luck.

I’ve tried the suggestions to fix the “no email sound alerts” on my iPhone but nothing works. 😬

I spoke with Apple support on Monday and after trying to help by going through all my Notification Setting on my iPhone 16 Pro Max told me Apple was “aware” of this issue and is working on it but there isn’t a date that it will be fixed.

Still no fix for this. Please Apple help.

Still zero fix for this issue and Apple isn’t of any help.

I have done this as well as deleting the account and signing in again. Are lessons learned from previous releases not taken in account for new releases or is everyone siloed for different features on your own app?

I've tried these suggestions and they did not work for me either.

I tried all this but unfortunately it didn't work.

Was just able to resolve this issue on my iPhone 15 Pro running ios 18.4. Try this:

Delete and Reinstall the Mail App

1. Tap and hold the Mail app icon from your Home screen to reveal a Delete App option. Tap that to remove the app, then restart your iPhone.
2. After your iPhone starts up again, download Mail from the App Store.
3. You may also need to return to the Passwords & Accounts settings to turn Mail on for each of your email accounts again.
4. Go to Notifications and check to see that “Allow Notifications” is turned ON for all eMail accounts.
5. For safety make sure iCloud Backup is still active as well (for some reason it was turned off after updating to the latest ios a few days ago and I was unaware of this issue).

I finally found something that worked for my iPhone 12 Pro!!! . —after all the other numerous different notification adjustments and tries… what finally worked for me was the following:

I completely deleted the mail app— then reinstalled it from App Store —

then- under settings-notifications -mail - customer notifications- I checked alerts for all my mail account ( as most were are off by default) and also checked to make sure the alerts were on - under vip /remind me/ primary inbox- ( as it was off by default on the primary nbox after the reinstall)

and after a few minutes- was hearing the alerts again! 😀

Deleted accounts and re installed nothing

get banned notifications for emails but no sound

apple zero help so far

Now email banner notifications have stopped and the push and fetch for outlook and Gmail don’t work

seriously Apple?

It's not only the mail notification with this issue. SMS, Teams, etc have this issue. Sometimes the sounds working, sometimes not.

It's very annoying, because occasionally it's a very important message that needs an action from me, and I miss it since the sounds not working well.

I have this exact same problem. I have tried all recommendations and nothing works.

Doesn’t Apple test before doing new releases?

This is basic functionality which should never be lost with an upgrade.

Please say this will be fixed in the next release!
