iOS 12 Lock Screen Notifications

Hi, I'm not having this. Can't remember from iOS 11 but in 12 I just get told how many notifications I'm on since I last unlocked the phone. However, I can then flick and read who sent the notification and the contents without opening the phone. I'm on iPhone 8. One weird thing is I've recently noticed that certain notification tones repeat a few seconds after they come in. So you may thinkyou have two notifications when you have only 1. Only happens with certain notifications though. Very odd that.

LordLuceus, have you double checked your restriction settings? It might theoretically be possible that you have restricted access to notifications from the lock screen. The restrictions section of settings has been moved from Privacy to Screen time on iOS 12. In my opinion, it doesn't belong there at all, but what can I do about it... :-D Another option is that you may have disabled displaying notification previews on the lock screen. If nothing else helps, trying to first restart VoiceOver and then eventually the phone itself usually helps me with 99 % of all the various weird glitches that I experience with VoiceOver from time to time.

Lee, if the repetitive notifications only occur with messages for you, then this is something that also used to puzzle me for ages. In the settings for mesage notifications, there is an option (forgot what exactly it's called but it's self-explanatory) that determines whether or not the notification for each received message should be repeated a second time after a while. You will hear the notification another time but as far as I remember, you only have one actual notification in the notification center. Needless to say I turned this off the very instant I found out about it. :-)

It might also be possible that some other apps have a similar setting in their notifications page or inside the in-app settings pannel, if the given app has one.

Hope this helps,
Lukas

Thanks Lukas will double check all apps.

I also noticed sometimes when I have notifications on the lock screen and I unlock the screen to do something else, the old notifications reappear the next time I lock the screen and look at the lock screen even though I dismissed those notifications the last time I unlocked the screen.

Re post 5. I've had exactly the same issue. I unlock the phone and when I lock again the old notifications appear. Seems to be only the last one I deleted or no more than one reappears. Doesn't happen very often so I wasn't totally sure I had actually dismissed the notification in the first place. Even if I hadn't though I wouldn't have thought it should appear again.

I have that same double tap issue too. I usually end up restarting the phone and it clears up for a while.
