ios 17 notification issues

Hey fong47,

If we understand correctly, the notifications sound volume is less than before you updated to iOS 17. There is no way to revert to a previous version of iOS. If you use a different notification sound, is it still low?

"You can choose the sound volume for alerts, choose between a tone or sound for alerts, or change the notification vibration pattern (when the phone is silenced).

1. Go to Settings  > Sounds & Haptics.
2. Do any of the following:

• Make notifications quieter or louder: Adjust the volume with the slider.
• Choose a tone or sound: Tap Text Tone, then tap a sound below Alert Tones (or tap Tone Store to download one).
• Choose a vibration pattern: Tap Text Tone, tap Vibration, then choose an option (or tap Create New Vibration to make your own).

1. Tip: The tone and vibration you choose apply to both the Messages app and other apps that have notifications on, such as Mail, Phone, and other Apple or third-party apps. To change them just for the Messages app, go to Settings > Notifications > Messages, then tap Sounds.

You can set how many times to repeat a notification (from Never to 10 Times) in Settings > Notifications > Messages > Customize Notifications."

Hi fong47,

Since you're still having issues with notifications after following those steps, you'll want to contact Apple Support.

Let them know what's happening and the troubleshooting steps you've done so far. They can look into this issue with you.

In the meantime, check within the third-party apps, as they may now have notification settings within the app itself. You can also contact the app developer:
