Why won't Notifications turn on my iPhone screen

I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max running iOS 16.6.1.


Whenever I get any sort of notifcation I hear the sound but the screen doesn't turn on.


A few things it isn't:


  • Silent switch on phone is in ringer position.
  • DND mode is OFF.
  • Notification Scheduled Summary is OFF.
  • The specific notifications have lock screen toggled on.


Keep in mind, I get the notification SOUND no problem. The screen just doesn't turn on. But when I go and tilt the phone up, the notification is there.


Any ideas?

Hello! Does anyone solve this issue? I have the same issue in iPhone 14 pro. Notification sounds works but do not light lockscreen. I have 17.5.1 iOS

Same here.


My screen doesn't turn on when I receive any notifications.


The post from SravanKrA doesn't help as none of that is an issue for me. Furthermore, this only happens on my iPhone 15 Pro max, while it's working on my iPhone 14 Pro.


And they have the same settings, as I've literally updated the 15 pro max via the 14 pro...


Help please, it´s a brand new phone not working as it should, as I keep missing notifications, since I have mine in silence (same for the 14 pro...).


Thank you
