Notifications stopped working without any known reason and without any simple solution.

After scanning the internet for solutions I ended up here. I even reset all settings as a last attempt. The only thing popping up on locked screen is new messages(SMS). I would normally see notifications from Messenger, Facebook, Gmail etc. No Previews are shown either. At first I didn't even realize there was an issue with the iPhone itself and I believed it was an issue with a single app or maybe two. The lack of notifications makes me less effective at work and I miss out on important attempts to contact me. Any solution to this?

None of the replies are any help, and these are absolutely obvious points to check.

However, I did find the only possible solution to this issue, which I managed to find in another forum:

After trying all other solutions, and of course made sure iOS i s up-to-date, I also reset all settings.

The end solution was to Remove all apps from the iPhone itself and to reinstall them. That's when the notifications start working again. So in other words a completely unnecessary and confusing glitch by Apple.

I understand that I am far from the only one, and definitely not the last. For some people this is enough to go spend another $1500 on a new phone.

This is my 5th iPhone and I never told anyone not to buy an iPhone. I will still keep on buying iPhone, but this type of glitches is definitely no ok. I spent hours and hours resolving this issue.

There was only 1 hour between the first two correct and HELPFUL replies, and your claim to have fixed it after "hours and hours" and searching other forums.

And the messages app cannot be uninstalled anyway.

And by the way, though you spent hours helping solve your own problem, the two fellow users that you dismissed so easily spend hours and hours of their own spare time every day helping others with no reward except some sort of appreciation.
