iOS 13.2 WHATSAPP push notifications problem

I have not tried it, because I feel like it should not work for me. I have problems with not only whatsapp, but viber, messenger, imessage and other apps too. After updating to ios 13.5 I once again restored phone from itunes and set it up as new, redownloaded everything again from appstore, however issue has not been fixed. This is getting so annoying I cant even answer calls, and message back on time. I dont understand whats wrong.

Touch wood, backing up my WhatsApp to the cloud (once under the Allowed limits)

Deleted the app

downloaded app again - auto restored my back up - took some time but still working ok.

whatsapp was the only s/w I had issues with.

Apart from the two updates, what else have you done ? Back up WhatsApp history , delete app, reinstall and reload back up fixed mine.

tbh it’s a poor service from Apple but you need to tell us what you’ve tried to fix it.

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.

Why do people read this thread , moan their phone does not work, as why it don’t work ?

Please tell us the software of phone and app and what you have tried to do to fix it.

we all try and help in our own time here but we’re not magicians or mind readers !

Like complaining to a doctor your foot hurts but forgetting to mention you dropped a rock on it - no point posting at all.

I “offloaded” the app, so the app was deleted, but the settings were retained. Tried that several times without success. I even backed up my phone and did a full software restore without success. What finally worked was an actual delete instead of just an offload. Seems like one of Whatsapp’s internal settings got corrupted. I could still restore my chat history from the iCloud backup.

Also, another user mentioned they changed the notification sound, which got it to work for them. I did that too, but I can’t recall if things started working before or after I changed the notification sound. Worth a try none the less. First time I’m getting push notifications in half a year!

I have that problem on my iPhone SE and I’m gonna buy the iPhone 11. If I transfer all data from my old iPhone to the new one, do you know if the problem will be passed to the new phone too? Has anyone done that??

It's strange that the latest version of iOS till date doesn't support notifications for video calls on whatsapp.

I do receive notifications on audio calls and msgs for whatsapp but video call notifications is not working even after performing all the workarounds.

Thanks for the steps!

It works perfectly fine for me now. Very simple 3 minutes work, without any kind of backing up or restoring to/from iCloud.

And now I also know that is possible to have two WhatsApps on the same iPhone!

That was helpful!

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck. The only fix I could find was that the system is bogged down by other apps running in the background. I had to go through (after backing up my phone) to turn off “background app refresh” for any apps I don’t regularly use. Once enough were turned off the notifications started to work again. Good luck!

Thank you , thank you , thank you!!! Wife’s phone / WhatsApp had this problem for months. Tried every combination of setting, uninstalling, upgrading etc but nothing worked . Except this route of moving to WA4B and back again. Did the job. Brilliant!

Happy wife happy life 😎

Thanks

 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.

Since i updated my IPHONE 11 pro max to iOS 14.0.1 i didn’t receive WHATSAPP push notifications. My device receives WHATSAPP message only when i open the app, if i don’t enter into WHATSAPP i don’t receive new messages. I checked all settings and everything is ok. Someone has this problem? How can i solve it?

I too face this issue. I have rebooted my iphone and also reinstalled the ios 13, but i doesn't fix the issue.

Kindly contact your service provider to change the wifi configuration settings.

Please try this, it had worked for me. Now its working fine.

Thanks and regards
