Hi Deezee21,


We recommend that you try the steps in the link below since you're unable to get notifications from certain apps on your iPad.


View and respond to notifications on iPad - Apple Support


To perform the recommended troubleshooting steps via the link above, complete the steps in the section titled "View, dismiss, clear, and mute notifications."


When notifications appear on your iPad, do any of the following:
* Handle a notification you receive while using another app: Pull it down to view it, then swipe up to dismiss it.
* Clear notifications: Swipe left on a notification or group of notifications, then tap Clear or Clear All.
* Mute notifications for an app: Swipe left on the notification or group of notifications, tap Options, then tap an option to mute the app’s notifications for an hour or a day. This sends them directly to Notification Center and prevents them from appearing on the Lock Screen, playing a sound, lighting up the screen, or presenting a banner.
* To see and hear these notifications again, swipe left on a notification in Notification Center, tap Options, then tap Unmute.
* Turn off notifications for an app or notification group: Swipe left on a notification or group of notifications, tap Options, then tap Turn Off.
* Change how an app displays notifications: Swipe left on a notification, tap Options, then tap View Settings. See Change notification settings to learn about the settings you can change.
* Clear all your notifications in Notification Center: Go to Notification Center, tap the Clear Notifications button, then tap Clear.
* Silence all notifications: Turn on Do Not Disturb. See Turn a Focus on or off on iPad.
When you haven’t used an app for a while, Siri suggests that you turn off notifications for that app.


We recommend the steps above because they will show you how to view and respond to notifications on your iPad.


If you’re still experiencing the same issue and cannot see your notifications, try the steps in the link below to learn how to change and customize your notification settings.


Change notification settings on iPad - Apple Support


Most notification settings can be customized for each app. You can turn app notifications on or off, have notifications play a sound, choose how and where you want app notifications to appear when your device is unlocked, and more.

1. Go to Settings  > Notifications.

2. To schedule a notifications summary, tap Scheduled Summary, then turn on Scheduled Summary.

Select the apps you want notifications for in your summary, set a time for delivery of your summary, then tap the Back button at the top left. (See schedule a notifications summary.)

3. To choose when you want most notification previews to appear, tap Show Previews, select an option—Always, When Unlocked, or Never—then tap the Back button at the top left.

Previews can include things like text (from Messages and Mail) and invitation details (from Calendar). You can override this setting for individual apps.

4. Tap an app below Notification Style, then turn Allow Notifications on or off.

If you turn on Allow Notifications, choose when you want the notifications delivered—immediately or in the scheduled notifications summary—and turn Time Sensitive Notifications on or off.

For many apps, you can also set a notification banner style and turn sounds and badges on or off.

5. Tap Notification Grouping, then choose how you want the notifications grouped:

* Automatic: The notifications from the app are grouped according to organizing criteria within the app, such as by topic or thread.

* By App: All the notifications from the app are grouped together.

* Off: Turn off grouping.

To turn off notifications selectively for apps, go to Settings > Notifications > Siri Suggestions, then turn off any app.

When you use Focus, it delays the delivery of notifications on iPad to prevent interruptions. You can schedule a time to receive a summary of the notifications you missed. See Schedule a notification summary.
