iOS 13.2 WHATSAPP push notifications problem

Have reset settings( all settings ) and it worked.

initially tried with deleting the app and reinstalling it. Didn’t work.

I have the same problem even before my phone is updated to iOS 13.3.1. I managed to solve the issue by doing a master reset on my phone.

Please remember to back up your iPhone beforehand.

After resetting, my whatsapp works as normal!

Resolved for iphone 8 by reset all settings!!!

I also faced this problem after I updated my whatsapp to latest version a week back. Then I contacted Whatsapp support who responded it to be an issue with my iphone 8. Suggested to reinstall whatsapp. I did not want to do it.

So I went ahead updating the iOS - updated to 13.3.1 couple of days back. That did not solve the problem either.

Lastly reading the responses on this discussion... i decided to Reset All Settings. Luckily that has resolved problem for me.

General > Reset > Reset All Settings

This will restart your phone and remove your existing settings, apple pay cards etc.

I feel like I'll jinx it by even posting this, but...I tried this last night (switching to WhatsApp Business and then switching back) and so far, it has actually worked for me. I'm getting push notifications again (for WhatsApp at least -- other apps that have had the issue, like Outlook and Slack, are still not getting them but I don't care as much), and the desktop app is working again without WhatsApp needing to be active on my phone. Thank you!!

I have been trying to back up WhatsApp to the cloud, which is ALSO broken for me (I made another post about that issue over here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251382818), and I'm still not able to do that, so I haven't been able to try deleting and reinstalling WhatsApp because I would lose all my posts. But letting WA Business "hold" my data for a little while was a great workaround.

The whatsapp to whatsapp business conversion and back worked for me too! Thanks. I did nit have notifications for months. Now its working again, without loss of whatsappdata.

What worked for me after trying every standard guide was:

ensure backups have completed recently, do a new backup up.

Notifications worked straightaway.

this is usually an issue on older models.

Few people suggested to delete the app and reinstall should fix the problem. However I could not try it out before I migrated to the new iPhone and WhatsApp is working fine on the new phone (iPhone11) despite being in the same IOS version 13.3

UHHHMMM, Solved ???

I changed the message sound, changed the default (notice) don't know te English name, to "Bel"for messages and "Aurora" for Group messages and noticed I got push messages again, ? tested it several times and it works for me...

Can anyone test this and confirm ??

I have done no updates, or anything, just changed the sound message..

I cant believe this simple solution is real, but if anyone can confirm it would be nice...

All apps, even native ones has these problems. Software update is not notifying about new update, App Store the same.

But for 3rd party apps like whatsapp, yahoo, facebook, resetting the phone and reinstalling the app, as described above, did the trick.

 Force Restart Your iPhone

If the WhatsApp notification is not working, the best thing you can try to fix WhatsApp notifications on iPhone in iOS 12 is to force restart your device. For this, just press and keep hold the "Sleep/Wake" and "Home" (Volume Down button for iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus) buttons for 10 seconds simultaneously. When you find Apple logo coming, release the buttons and the device will restart. This will probably fix the problem.

do you have your cell data switched off?

Thx for the update. Mine has been working ok for weeks now by saving to cloud, deleting and reinstalling. Your method may well help others :)

I've been facing this issue for so long! (over 8 months)

This worked for me: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250814508?answerId=252684630022#252684630022

Thanks @Veron3218 for sharing this info!

This worked for me just turned off half of my apps for background refresh. Toggled the background refresh button a couple of times and it worked

ok looks like one update from on iOS 13.6.1 and it solves the notification problem.

Now even "Sound" is OFF or chat is MUTE, whatsapp calls are coming or ringing.
