Delayed notifications

Same problem here but in my case seems to affect only WhatsApp. Most of the notifications got delayed one hour. I tried everything. I suspect is a server side issue on Apple.

Suspiciously it started to happen after an IOS 14.something upgrade. My AppleID is quite old and so is my WhatsApp account. I guess I've received really LOTS of push notifications since my first iPhone 2G. Don't know if this could be linked. Maybe some overflow on some int16 which should be an int64?

Could be. Indeed I have the same discussion open with WhatsApp support and they assure me it's not on their side.

Also due to the huge number of people reporting push notifications not showing on time on their iPhones, to me something is "stinky" here.

It also could be that there is a bug on Apple APNs which is only triggered under certain circumstances (for instance having sent lots of notifications to a certain user and app).

You can ask them how come then it’s only their service that it is affected and not others?

Their customer support should report back to their dev team to investigate. If dev team finds issue is with Apple’s APN server, they can let/report to Apple dev team to fix it.

I am using an iPhone 12 Pro Max now. But it's worth mentioning that I had the same problem with my iPhone 11 Pro Max.

I am not a tech newbie. So I pretty much did whatever it is that may have fixed notification issues - yet the problem is still there.

In fact this is becoming a big issue. I play a vital role in my company and I rely on email as primary contact method. And just last weekend, I did not receive or I was not notified with a critical work email that I should have read by Saturday as I did not get notification for it until the coming Monday.

This is just very frustrating.

I'm having this same issue! So annoying, and I too "get slammed with dozens" of notifications at once. Here is my experience:

iphone 12 pro max

not restored from icloud - setup as new

latest ios software

i pick up my phone, start using an app, and all of a sudden, i get slammed with tons of notifications from 1-30 mins ago. WTF?

this happens every day, and even happened on my iphone 10s max.

I agree... after I had been Hard Resetting my iPhone X twice, it does not solve the problem at all. Sadly :( Apple! Please fix the problem. I had problems at times with regards to calls between my Mac and iPad. Like whenever someone calls me through my iPhone, calls do not reach in my Mac nor iPad..

Wow, this problem has been too long, why apple team took too long to fix this problem, and body from the team reply back to this treads, im having the same problem and i realised that all kind of notifications wont go it the phones when my phone screen is turn off, notifications only pops up once I on my phone screen (unlock my phone screen). Reply please Apple team

I know right, they should rectify this soon enough. During the pandemic notifications are a vital thing to us cause who knows if we could have seen the notification earlier we could have helped someone right away.

I’m having the same issues, even did the unpairing then wipe then pair again.

I don’t know about others, but I’m also getting 3 notifications on my watch for one text message that I read the first time, and it keeps coming through, thinking I have new messages. Not sure what to do. My phone an watch are both are up to date on software updates.

I just got my first iPhone and I had this exact issue. Even exchanged it for a new on within the return period. Same issue again. Sometimes I don’t even receive FaceTime calls. I also get the “phantom notifications” where two mins later I again get notified of the same notification I already got.

And like everyone else, I get notifications not at all or delayed, especially for iMessage. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t and it’ll finally notify me after five mins and it will indeed also say “5 mins ago” on the notification.

it has also happened where it said “delivered” for a message and the persons I sent it to never got it or mins later.

Hello Guys. I am also experiencing this for quite some time. I already did complete reset of my phone via itunes but the problem persisted. Last night, I did a reset of my Apple password and reselect my region/country. So far the issue has lessen in severity but there are still occasional delays.

I’m not sure if this will help others here but hope you could give it a try.

Thanks.

I have delayed notifications on IPhone 11 but not IPad 7th generation. I do not keep notifications on Lock Screen on either device.. This is since 14.4 update. I’m pretty sure it’s a software issue.

Thank you for your suggestion. I tried it, removed all widgets, but I am still getting delayed notifications unfortunately. I have noticed this for iMessage, Mail, and Gmail so far. I still get the notifications a few minutes later.

I have the same problem. Notifications open the light screen but the sounds come 5-10 seconds later. Also camera and video are opening really slow. I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max. Apple support didn’t find something in the device and this is still happening and is really annoying!!! Someone find a solution?? I have the latest update on apps and software too

Well , I have the same issue , and been “accidentally” doing this. When I arrive home I forget to turn mobile data off so it’s always on with WiFi ... but the notification issue still persists... I have no idea what to do at this point , I have a iPhone 11 Pro Max , this issue has been here since I bought the phone in 2019 ... what can I say .. I got .. used to it -_-.
