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).

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.

This issue is not fixed with 14.2.1. I have tried to reset settings, full reset, complete wipe and restored, complete wipe and set up as a new phone, along with turning off and turning on notifications for each app. After all these steps nothing happened. Apple support is a waste of time as they don’t have a fix but after calling 5x it’s clear that the person helping is having the same issue. I have missed tons of notifications and it has created issues for work.


@Apple Support - Do you guys even know about this discussion page?

I am having the same issues on my 12 mini after switching over from an android device. I purchased two 12 minis. 1 for me and 1 for my wife. My wife migrated from another iphone. SHE is getting notifications for the same apps that I am not getting them from. Our settings are exactly the same. This is certainly a conundrum and after using an android and or windows based phones for 21 years this is not a good start.

Can anyone help me here please? I’ve just spent hours resetting my phone, only to discover this messes up my watch! I’ve given up at the minute and restored the phone again. The logic is, backup phone and watch. Completely rebuild phone from new, which means the watch can’t ‘see’ the backup as the phone doesn’t recognise it either since it’s a ‘new’ phone, having been restored. Am I getting this all wrong, or is there some other way round it please? Also, what about app data, on a new install download the apps aren’t downloading my data. Sorry, but I’m now so confused and fed up with the whole thing. Thank you
