Do you have this issue on your phone or computer?

Customer Replay

Yes. When I open my phone there is a written text but no sound alert. I have and iPhone 11 and have deleted the app and then reinstalled as well as having restarted the phone twice.

Okay
Try to reset your settings:

  1. Go to "Settings" and hit "General".
  2. Go to "Reset" and hit "Reset All Settings" Will it erase all content and settings?
    It should affect only settings, not content. But let me check it, please
Customer Replay

Will it all be gone?

Reset All Settings doesn't erase any of your data such as files, documents, photos, videos, notes, email, or apps. It will only delete your settings. All notifications should work like on a new device after it

The white apple…

What do you mean?

Customer Replay

Looks like phone is rebooting
