iOS 13.2 WHATSAPP push notifications problem

Since i upadated my IPHONE 7 to iOS 13.2 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?

iPhone 7, iOS 13

After months of trying, I finally found a way to resolve this glitch. Everything else didn’t work for me previously. Contacted Apple and WhatsApp to no avail. Anyway, try the following:


  1. Download WhatsApp Business.
  2. Port your account over to WA Business (click continue after opening the app) without deleting the normal WhatsApp.
  3. Try to get someone to test send a few messages to your number. WA Business should push out the notifications.
  4. Delete your normal WhatsApp and restart your iPhone.
  5. Re-download and reinstall the normal WhatsApp from the App Store. Open the app and allow porting of info to take place.
  6. And there! Notifications should come in as per normal again on your normal WhatsApp!!!
  7. Delete the WA Business app if you have no use for it.


Good luck!!! 🥰🥰🥰

To Veron3218 who suggested porting everything over to a Whatsapp business account, deleting the normal Whatsapp, restarting phone, downloading normal Whatsapp again and porting everything from the business account again...

It's genius!

Worked like a charm!

After checking and rechecking settings and permissions etc, nothing worked. But Veron3218's suggestion fixed it!

Thanks!!

Delete the WA Business app.
