Notifications not appearing post IOS 15.2.1 update

We didn’t expect this from Apple. The iOS 15.2.1 has so much bugs. Whatsapp is crashing again and again and screen becomes unresponsive for a long time. I hope Apple will fix this issue as soon as possible as we trust Apple.

I'm a longtime android user switched to apple with the latest iPhone 13 pro. Ever since I got the phone I noticed this notification issue, starting with YouTube app, all settings are correct but no notification sounds from the subscribed channels only muted banners. I've tried resetting the phone, settings, even setup as a new device nothing seems to fix the problem. I've noticed this with few other apps as well. This is the most important and annoying one.

Yes. It has been happening ever since iOS 15. I have done absolutely everything. Focus off. Sleep off. Both deleted. Reset. Changed notification for every single app. Making sure priority. It. Is. Still. Happening. This is nuts. Come on Apple. If I have to spend 40 hours doing your troubleshooting for you, I expect to be paid for time!

This just started for me after updating to iOS 15.3. I’ve tried every suggested workaround except a factory reset. Yes I’ve checked all my settings. I’ve been trying everything for a week now. So frustrated given the cost of these devices and the importance of notifications.

I started having the problem for notifications since 4-5 days ago for Whatsapp, Gmail, Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, Samsung Smartthings and no luck. I did some reset to my network settings, verify background app refresh and no luck. When someone sent me a message to whatsapp it appears only one check and I did not receive any notification but when I open my whatsapp I received it and people saw the 2 checks but when I just opened my whatsapp. I called Apple and we did some testings. Only solution is to delete applications and reinstall again. I did the test with one and it works but Im having a lot of apps. I checked if its better to do a backup on iTunes and do a restore as I can think apps is not copied, just downloading again so it can do the process automatically of removing and reinstalling? Very frustrating to deal with this.

I delete a few apps and reinstalled just to validate - it worked for WhatsApp - but not CBC news (as an example). I shouldn’t have to delete every app I have and reinstall. A few of my apps can’t be backed up as well and I don’t want to lose that data. Delete/reinstall is not a viable workaround.

Yes, have the same issue right after doing the 15.2 update and now with 15.3 as well. Reset location & privacy, restarted the phone but the issue is still there. Very frustrating as I cannot attend a single whatsapp call as they all come as missed calls when i open the app. No notifications come through as well. Same with insta, fb etc. This is a big issue and I hope Apple roles out a fix ASAP

Yes, I have done all of these things as well. It's a terrible problem when you cannot do anything with your phone when you pick it up because you are bombarded with notification after notification after notification. Sometimes there are 20 missed Ring alerts – each to be dismissed which really defeats the purpose of having notifications in the first place. Having to dismiss them all to get to whatever you picked up your phone to do is completely maddening. As is not being notified in the first place.

I am also facing this issue since 15.2.1 and then also upgrading to 15.3.

Backed up my iphone and then restored, still no notifications

Deleted apps and re-installed, still no notifications

Tried all solutions, none is working for me, anyone having solution?

I did not have this issue until I updated to 15.4.1 4 days ago. Now I have the same symptoms as previously mentioned. Tried every thing to no avail. Maybe Apple will issue another update that addresses it. In the meantime I'm struggling...

I don’t think Apple will issue an update for this fix. I have had this issue for 3 months or so now. There is a fix. Reinstall all apps that you need to view notifications from. That worked for me. I receive all notifications now

Answer:

Hello, I fixed the issue just doing the reset option location & privacy.

settings> general> transfer or reset> reset>reset location & privacy.

yes, facing similar issue and not just with whatsapp but with outlook, LinkedIn, and other productivity apps as well.

let me know how you solved , if you do.

Im having issues to get missed phone calls and randomly other app notifications as well. Fyi all notifications are allowed and im not using any focus. Pls advise anyone how to resolve this problem?

To adjust, notifications are coming up on watches but not on the phone while locked.
