Apps background internet not working post upgrade

Since the last update(17.4.1), the notifications for most of the apps( whatsapp, instagram, linkedin, facebook, gmail etc) have stopped working. After digging further, I realise its not the notification issue, its more of access to internet when apps are in background. As soon as I open the app, I get the notification.

All my notification settings are on, background app refresh is on too. Tried force restart, reinstalling apps, but nothing seems to work.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 17

It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.


Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!



iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.


Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.


Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.
