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!!! 🥰🥰🥰

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.
