This happens randomly on my Iphone 15. Sometimes the sound for a text will work and other times it won’t. I have to to turn my mute switch off and back on again for the sound notifications to work again. Then later, the sound will stop working again. Hopefully Apple is aware of the bug and will create a fix.
iPhone 15, iOS 26
My iPhone 15 on iOS 26.1 caused text tones to stop periodically. I tried everything. Apple Support said “go to Settings/Apps/Messages and turn OFF ALLOW NOTIFICATIONS then restart iPhone then turn ON ALLOW NOTIFICATIONS. I did and all is well now. I hope text tones stay normal.
Worked for the 14pro no problem but upgraded to the 17pro and lost all sounds for notifications have tried everything now .. Anyone found a work around for this yet?
I just upgraded to iOS 26.1 and I still cannot get sounds when I receive a notification of a text. When in the heck is this going to be addressed? My wife is ready to throw the phone out the window!
No watched.
Any idea when this will be fixed?

Notification sounds only work on my iPhone 16 Pro Max when screen is locked if I turn off Wrist Detection on my Apple Watch. That's messed up.
You may not like it, but it's the way notifications have worked since the Watch was released. It has nothing to do with iOS 26 (or any other version of iOS).
Notifications on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
No notification sounds after new iOS 26 update on my Iphone
