Part 2: How to Get Notifications to Reappear on iPhone Lock Screen
#1 Change the Gesture of Opening Notification Center
After upgrading to iOS 16, some of you may not know about the hidden gesture to check your notifications. If you still scroll down from the top of the lock screen to read notifications, you will definitely not see them. Thus, from now on, you must swipe up from the bottom of the lock screen, or swipe down from any other screen. If you do the correct gesture but notifications remain missing, go on to the next solution.
#2 Reset Notification Settings
Many settings influence the performance of notifications. No matter whether you changed them or not, you would better check different settings one by one. When there is something wrong, just reset it and see if the problem is solved.
