I have searched everywhere and read through the manuals and I am lost.

2017 1500 with the basic UConnect

I never had any trouble with my iPhone 7. Once I switched to my iPhone 11 I developed an odd problem. If I have new message notifications on my phone (like my wife has text me but I haven't opened it) and then get in my truck, all new message notifications will be cleared without any notification to me through the truck. I understand there not being a notification if the truck announces the incoming message and I listen or press X. However, this is really annoying. I have frequently received messages that I didn't see while getting ready for work or even while at work, then hop in the truck and they all get cleared. The message is still there, I just lose all notification that there is a new one which I haven't seen yet.

Any ideas?

I have tried all the basics up to resetting the phone (completely), deleting the device in the truck and then reconnecting it as new. I am a field service tech for a large company so this issue persisting is quite embarrassing. haha

Have you tried a soft reset on the head unit

I have not. I'll look into that and try it tonight.

On your phone, go to settings > Bluetooth > Uconnect and make sure the “show notifications” is turned on. On my iPhone XR, this has sometimes turned itself off, usually after an iOS update.

The reset did not solve it.

"Show notifications" seems to be an all or nothing fix. With it off, I get no text message alerts through the radio but the phone will retain them. With it on, all message notifications get cleared upon initial connection to the truck...
