Apps is not running in the background for iphone 7 (IOS 13.4.1)

I'm not receiving any notifications until I open up any applications (eg. Whatsapp, Linkedin, Discord, etc.). I've made sure my Background App Refresh is turned on for all the apps and the Notifications is set as Always as well. How can I go about rectifying this issue? Thanks in advance!


Cheers

iPhone 7, iOS 13

Hi Alex,


Thank you for your time, really appreciate it.

I've made sure the following settings are on:

1) Background App Refresh is on for all applications

2) Notifications are allowed and turned on for Lock Screen, Notification Center and Banners

3) Previews setting are set to Always

4) Apple ID is signed

5) Do Not Disturb mode if off

6) Regardless of Wi-Fi network or cellular data, I'm still not receiving any new messages, updates unless i open up any particular app.


As stated above, I've exhausted most options but to no avail. Would really appreciate your advice on this.

Thanks!


Cheers
