Notifications not working after iOS 17.6 Update

I was having the same EXACT issue tried everything, finally I decided to text apple support which finally led me to an apple support number to call. The phone call fixed the problem with screen sharing my phone so the person on the other end could see, all I had to do was delete the apps I was having issues with (gmail, outlook, instagram, facebook etc.) So the solution is easier than you think!

I had the same problem with iPad Air 2024 M2 running 17.6 and 18.1

I deleted my Telegraph newspaper app and reinstalled it. Notifications are now working for the newspaper app and also for other apps that were not giving notifications.

Thank you. That worked for me as well. I uninstalled a single app for which I wasn’t receiving notifications. Bizarrely that seemed to unblock something and i instantly got red circles with numbers of notifications appearing on other apps that I don’t think were previously there. When I reinstalled the app that wasn’t giving notifications, now it is fixed and the push notifications are now in my notifications centre. Very strange.

Hi everyone,

I've been dealing with a frustrating issue for a while now, especially since updating to iOS 17.6. I've tried various ways/steps such as adjusting settings, updating iOS and apps, and even resetting settings, but nothing has worked. The only solution that has worked for me is completely uninstalling/removing the app and then reinstalling it. This issue has affected almost all of my third-party apps. I also attempted offloading the app from settings and storage, but that didn't resolve the issue. Unfortunately, my WhatsApp isn't backed up, so I'm unsure when this issue will be resolved on its own.

If it worked I think you need to change your boss afterwards. Lol

Hello everyone, I had the same problem and tried everything to solve it. Unfortunately, nothing worked. Finally, I tried removing a single app that I'dont receive notification (For example instagram) just to see if it would help, and surprisingly, it worked. The challenge now is that I don't receive any notifications, so I have to remove and reinstall too many apps.

I deleted (not offloaded) the app from my phone, which warned me that it would delete all my data and settings. Then I reinstalled it, but I did not need to re-enter my password, and all my settings seemed to still be there. And I did once again get my notifications, so it seems to be working again. But again, that was only one app, not all apps.

I am experiencing the same issue on iOS 18.1. After every possible suggestion by Apple support yielding nothing, I came to this forum to discover that yes, deleting and reinstalling an app works. But it’s absurd to think that’s the solution we’re left with. An update on 17 or 18 to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem as well with not receiving notifications. I have reset the Network Settings, tried deleting an App an re-installing, turning off all Focus Modes, turning off all Notifications and back and on and I have even went into some of the apps like banking for example and disabled notifications and then turned them back on and nothing has worked.

I then Erased all settings and content and I did restore from a back up. However, like someone already mentioned I'm still having the same issue so I feel doing this just put the issue back on my phone since I restored from a back up.

The only thing left to do that I can see is to erase all settings and content but set up as a brand new phone which I really don't want to do at the moment but it is beyond frustrating that notifications for all these different apps has stopped working.

Have the same issue, after the update to 17.6

Tried everything with support, they recommend now to reset the phone entirely.

It´s just super strange from one minute to the other, following issues with Wi-Fi connection and sudden disconnection of iMessage and faceTime. this literally took me ages to fix with hundreds of re-boots.

Funny enough I get some notifications like SMS, calendar, even third party like toDO from Microsoft sends me notifications. The network is actually fine so once I open the application for example whats app I receive the message. So traffic is getting through just the phone doesn´t trigger the notification. Makes it even more frustrating if you wait for the push notification of your bank to approve a purchase. Hope they´ll fix it.

Hi! I am having the same problem. The Apple Support tried many solution but nothing worked.

I am receiving notifications from some apps, like news. But from others importants like Whatsapp and banks only rarely or never.

I perceived this problem before the iOS 17.6 update.

Now I am with 17.6.1 and the problem continues.

We wait that Apple resolve it quickly because it's causing many problems.

Got the same issues since today. Especially the messenger apps (WA, Line, Facebook, IG) doesn't give me any notifications anymore. No DND, no focus at all, notifications are enabled, also for the apps. I was on some iOS 17 version, and already updated it to the latest iOS 17 version. I've done all the usual solutions (except calling the Apple Support), but nothing worked so far. Did anyone find a solution?

My notifications are intermittent for phone, calendar, texts, and others. This carried over from my previous iPhone, so it’s obviously software. The fact that notifications work only some of the time is perplexing and probably means the issue will be hard to solve. An Apple Guru could not help me. This is a MAJOR problem.

BTW, the iPhone warranty does not cover software. So even though my brand new phone does not notify me (consistently) of phone calls, texts, etc., Apple is under no obligation to fix it. I may look at a Samsung for my next phone.

Same here tried literally everything and updated all apps while even tried to contact Apple but nothing…

Same problem here. I have followed all the instructions I found on the internet and nothing worked.

The only thing I haven't done is a factory reset.
