I updated to the latest version and where there used to be 3 individual iphones with their individual names.
now in notifications only 1 device with generic name Notification.mobile_app_iphone
and the other two are nowhere to be found… and only 1 iphone with get notifications…
It seems like which ever phone was the last phone added is the one that gets notifications.
I would add photos but I am to new to do so.
I have tried reset in companion app
reset and delete of all devices
and removing the app but now all 3 devices show up as iPhone under MOBILE APP devices…
and there is only 1 notification showing up…
also, when i use notify.notify it will only go to one device…
PLEASE HELP!

This is a known issue that appears since iOS 16 introduced new privacy settings.
Check the following GitHub issue for more details:

These issues should be fixed in a subsequent release shortly. Sorry for the inco… nvenience.
# Notification service is renamed
## iOS 16
*Fixed in iOS-2022.10.1.*
iOS 16 introduces a new privacy feature which disallows the app from knowing your device name. This means your notify target for all devices on iOS 16 is renamed to either `notify.mobile_app_iphone` or `notify.mobile_app_ipad`.
**Workaround**: Update to iOS-2022.10.1.
## macOS 13
*Will is fixed in iOS-2023.2.1.*
Catalyst apps incorrectly gained the privacy feature to redact device names, so we had to switch the method we were using to get device names.
**Workaround on macOS**: Upgrade to iOS-2023.2.1.
# Push notifications stop working, but local push works
Assuming you've done the above to fix the service name, iOS 16 appears to have an issue upon upgrade where notifications will stop working until the app is deleted and reinstalled. I do not believe this is an app bug -- tests indicate it's an iOS bug as it is occurring in other apps as well.
**Workaround**: Delete and reinstall the app.
# Certain Complications are no longer available
The watch app running on watchOS 9 does not offer alternatives to Complications which were removed by Apple in watchOS 9.
**Workaround**: Change your Complications to a template type still supported by Apple.
There is also some workaround (discussed for example in this topic
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/ios-mobile-app-lost-name-for-unknown-reason-ha-confused-and-cannot-notify-anymore/462986/5
iOS app: Settings → Companion App → [Server name] → Device Name → Manually entered the correct device name.
HA: Manually renamed the device back to the correct name
HA: renamed all entities manually for this phone one by one.
(One would asume step 1 would mean step 2 and 3 would not be needed and with step 2 that 3 would not be needed. But while device and entities has been changed to ‘iphone’ it didn’t not revert them back automatically with me)
At this stage nomore errors from automations but notifications did not arrive-
wait patiently - in my case about 8 hours (i.e. did this in the evening, next morning when I woke up it worked again).
