iPhone 12 not getting notifications

I set up my new device, and my notification settings are turned on and the same as my previous phone, but I am not getting notifications on the new device. My old device, connected to Wi-Fi, is getting notifications. Again the settings I checked and they are all the same on both devices.


Can someone please help me to get my notifications?


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).

My iPhone 12 pro had the same issue of not sending or receiving text messages. I had just updated it "transferring" from iPhone 6. Nothing Apple recommended helped until a friend told me that I had to transfer the chip from the old phone to the new one. WOW, how come the instruction that came for the iPhone 12 never pointed this out. Really annoying!

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.
