1. Select Delete App
2. Confirm it once more to remove the app from your iOS device.
3. Go to iTunes store and install Hangouts iOS app
4. Accept all permissions.

I’m having the same issue...I’m not getting YouTube notifications for uploads and I’m not getting notifications for Instagram messages. It’s only been doing this since I got the 12 pro. All of the settings in the phone are correct.

I am having the same issue. We bought three new phones for the family and not able to get notifications on any one of them. All notifications settings are the same as what was on the old phones and looked at the article that was attached to previous posting. Please help. Thank you

Ok, update! So as I've opened each app, I've started to get notifications for those apps. That seems to be the trick for me. I have my old phone next to the new phone. When I get a notification on my old phone and not the new phone, I open the app on the new phone. Usually it asks me to sign in and that's what's holding up the notifications (maybe).

I have tried all the steps listed in the above article and I'm totally frustrated! I get a couple of notifications but not nearly all of them. I know what ones I should be getting because I had to turn on my old phone to get them! I'm also having trouble receiving text messages on my new 12 Pro. Please help!

Exactly same here. New iPhone 12 pro. Only certain apps not working with notifications. I’ve checked all settings and individual app settings and they are all correct. Very annoying as some are important.

I have recently got the iPhone 12, but I am getting no notifications when I’m not using my phone? Such as when it’s locked or charging etc. My notification settings are correct and I have checked each app to see if notifications are turned on (they are) but still nothing??

please help. phones to expensive to be throwing in frustration lol😂

Hey mickeddie,

We see that you're not getting any notification on your new iPhone 12, and we'd like to help!

Please double check all the steps that are offered from the article here: Use notifications on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Be sure to also check out the bottom section that says 'If you don't see notifications for a specific app' for additional steps.

Let us know if this helps!

Warm regards.

Well I think I have fixed it for me. Listing the steps here, perhaps it will work for you!

1. log into your icloud id or ids if you have more than 1 on a web browser on your iPad or laptop. Not on your iPhone.
2. top right corner go into iCloud settings and scroll down to where it shows you all your devices associated to your iCloud Id
3. Delete every single device from each of your iCloud ids. In my case, I had my old iPhone was attached to one of my ids.
4. then log into Facebook on your browser, not app, and go into settings and then security. Look for a list of your devices logged into and log out of each device. Do that for any other app that you are not getting notifications for.
5. now go back to your primary new iPhone 12, uninstall end reinstall each app you logged out of.
6. Make sure that in your iCloud settings for iPhone 12, no other associated device shows up. You can add an iPad or MacBook later.
7. Log back into your apps and this should all work.

did for me, hope it does for you!

I had the same issue. This solved the problem for me:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Select General.
3. Scroll to the bottom and select Reset.
4. Turn off and turn back on your iphone
5. Delete and reinstall all the apps whose notifications do not work. (first take a copy if you have any important local data which is not stored in the cloud.)
6. If it still doesn't work, you might need to one more time turn off and on your iphone.

This happened to me as well. I just realized I didn't have my notification preview set as 'Always' but it was default to 'when unlock' with the new phone. It seems to solve the issue when I changed it.

I think I’ve figured it out, go to settings and then click where it says your name..

You’ll see a list of devices your number has connected to, click on the ones you don’t want to use and delete them :)

I have had this same issue as well. I havent received notifications since I got my 12 and even had one of my friends complain that he had to call me twice to get it to go through. First call always went straight to voicemail, but second one would come through if he called me right back. That got me thinking about the Do Not Disturb function. Even though I have DND turned off it still has the two options for Silence. Either “Always” or “When iPhone Is Locked” and one option has to be selected on the current iOS. Apple needs to fix this function immediately and add a “Never” option or something along those lines. I love my new phone but I do not and will not always keep it unlocked and in my hand waiting for a notification. Thats kinda why we have them setup in the first place.

Just a little edit to add. I asked my wife if she was updated to iOS 14 on her iPhone 11 Pro and she is but does not have this issue even though her DND and Solence settings are the same as mine. So it seems it isolated to just the iPhone 12’s which leads me to believe that this is something related to new hardware in our phones.

I’ll join the crowd. I’m getting some notifications on my iPhone 12 Pro but not getting most notifications. I’ve checked settings multiple times and settings are correct. Could this be a problem with IOS 14.2 as it seems this problem started happening right around then. My iPad running 14.2 is getting all notifications, sure hope this problem gets resolved soon.
