iOS 16.2
For about a month now, my phone has not been sending any push notifications for any app except for the defualt Apple apps (iMessage, Mail, etc.).
I have restarted my phone, checked notifications are enabled, checked scheduled summary is off, checked focus is off, and updated to latest os.
Any help would be appreciated, even if I have missed something simple.
iPhone 11, iOS 16
Hello NYBeeast,
Next, try deleting and reinstalling the app to see if that resolves the issue: Redownload apps and games from Apple - Apple Support
If the issue persists, we recommend reaching out to the app developer for assistance as described here: How to contact an app developer - Apple Support
"Contact the developer of an iOS, iPadOS, or watchOS app
or your photo at the top of the screen, tap Purchased, tap "Not on this [device]," then tap the app.
"We hope this helps.
Cheers!

Hey NYBeeast,
Thanks for confirming those details. iOS 16.3 was recently released. We'd like to have you update to the latest version of iOS, then test notifications to see if the update resolved the issue. Here's how: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Let us know! Take care.
Nope, updated and things that should be coming through as notifications just aren't.
For example, an instagram dm gives me no notification at all, and I am unaware I have gotten one until I open the app.
Notifications are allowed in settings, enabled for dms in instagram settings, and focus is off.
Good news is that this works.
Bad news is that this means I’m going to have to reinstall every app I want notifications on (partly why I didn’t try this earlier)
Thanks for the help
Hello NYBeeast,
If you're not getting notifications for certain applications, you'll first want to make sure you have whatever notification type you want from it set up. In Settings > Notifications, select the app you want notifications from, then make sure Allow Notification is turned on and you have a notification type selected for it.
Use notifications on your iPhone or iPad
If the notifications for this application stopped working after you installed a system software update, check to see if any updates are available for the actual application.
1. Open the App Store.
2. Tap your profile icon at the top of the screen.
3. Scroll to see pending updates and release notes. Tap Update next to an app to update only that app, or tap Update All.
How to manually update apps on your Apple device
Make sure in Settings > General > Date and Time that Set Automatically is turned on. Also check in Settings > General > Background App Refresh, to make sure the applications you want notifications from are turned on in there.
Check to see if you have a focus configured which may be preventing notifications from coming in. Go to Settings > Focus and see if anything is set up in there. If something is, turn it off and test out the notifications.
Use Focus on your iPhone or iPad
Cheers!
As I already stated, I have checked notifications are enabled (they are), updates don't seem to fix it, and I have ensured focus is disabled.
No Notifications for Third Party apps
