No notifications after iOS 16.3 update

Hi, all my notifications have disappeared and I have no badges or notifications on my lock screen. All settings are as they should be.

I only get notifications when I open the actual app (eg WhatsApp) which is pointless.

only started after updating my iOS. I need my notifications back please help. Like I say I know how to use the settings and everything is where it is supposed to be. Is it a bug?

im using iPhone 11.

Hello Bj-Rocke,


Let's use the steps below to make sure that your apps are also up to date:


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.


You can find those steps in this resource: How to manually update apps on your Apple device - Apple Support


You'll also want to make sure the Focus feature isn't enabled under Settings > Focus. If the Share Across Devices option is enabled in that menu, that could cause your iPhone to use the Focus feature unexpectedly while it is enabled on another device: Use Focus on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Should that still persist, do you experience the same behavior with built-in apps such as Messages?


Let us know, and we'll keep moving forward from there.
