Hello Racherar,


Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're not receiving notifications for the Facebook Messenger app. It also sounds like turning notifications off, then on, and restarting your iPhone X didn't resolve the issue. Those were really great steps, and we have a few more ideas in mind that may help.


For this concern, we recommend taking a look at the specific notification settings for this app in Settings > Notifications > Messenger. Is Allow Notifications enabled?


Next, these additional steps can help you modify your settings:

Change notification settings on iPhone


Alternatively, if you have an Apple Watch paired to your iPhone, notifications might arrive on your watch, instead. Learn more here:

We hope this information is useful. Kind regards.
