WhatsApp isn’t in the notification list

I’m not getting any notification from WhatsApp, I don’t have do not disturb mode active or any focus mode active. Also when I check in settings about notifications, I’m not able to find WhatsApp in the list.


I already reseted all settings, rebooted my phone, uninstalled and installed WhatsApp but nothing have worked.


iPhone 11, iOS 15

Had the same issue of WhatsApp notifications not being pushed on iOS 15.2.


It was fixed for me doing this:


1) exit WhatsApp app 


2) in Settings -> General -> Transfer or Reset phone -> Reset -> Reset Location& Privacy


3) open WhatsApp, it will prompt you to enable Notifications


WhatsApp notifications started working again

That's strange.

If I enable Screen Time here, there is a possibility to add WhatsApp, to call via WahtsApp and to send messages.

In any case, there is a setting on the iPhone that prevents WhatsApp app from being added to the list, but I don't know what that setting is.

On your screenshot:

Push notifications are disabled. To enable visit: iPhone settings > notifications > whatsapp
