Iphone 8 plus suddenly not giving any notification anymore

Hello,


I have been using this iphone 8 plus for more than 5 years now. I never had issue with notifications until recently. Suddenly, my iphone isn't sending any notification, neither sound or vibration and I didn't toggled the mute button on the side. Sometime I get notification, but with no sound or vibration. I never put my phone on "do not disturb" either. I checked on the settings "Notifications" every app I need notifications to be turned on such as Messenger, Gmail, Instagram, Linkedlin. But nothing seems to work.

My phone is also up to date to iOS 16.7.2. I can't update my iphone more since this phone is too old. Eventually I got the idea to restart my phone. It didn't fix the issue. After a bit of research on the internet, I have heard resetting the setting fixed the issue for some people. I tried it twice, but nothing worked for me. I tested sending notification using another iphone on the same account to see if both iphone will receive a notification. As expected my iphone 8 plus didn't gave any notification, neither sound or vibration unless I go to the app. The other iphone got the notification as expected. I am starting to believe it's time to let this phone go. Every suggestion can be helpful!


Thanks in advance.

iPhone 8 Plus, 16

Did you also force restart your iPhone?

If this does not help, try to set it back to factory settings, using your computer:

Restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to factory settings


Set it up manually at first, without using backup data. Then test the notifications.

If they work, restore from the latest backup.
