I am not receiving push notifications on my iPhone after iOS 18 update

This issue is pretty annoying, i tried everything but seems like Apple are not prioritizing fixing the issue.

apple when will you react?

I couldn’t agree more with you. For those who rely on notifications such as for medical purposes, as well as those who rely on them for everyday tasks.

Their support doesn’t warrant the heavy price tag of their products, you’d think they would be able to resolve an issue such as this.

Come on Apple!!.. it’s unacceptable to expect people to pay for a product that doesn’t function as intended.

Yup me 2 , it has been about 2 weeks for me that my notifications are not working, most from my socials

The issue appears to have been introduced in iOS 18 and remains unresolved, with later updates like 18.1 and 18.1.1 expanding the problem to more devices (including mine, which wasn’t affected before 18.1.1). This suggests Apple hasn’t addressed the root cause but instead inadvertently extended the bug. I sincerely hope they resolve this soon, as notifications are one of the iPhone’s most essential features.

Same issue. IOS 18 in 13 pro max, no push notifications.

first time ever, considering Samsung to replace iPhone. Rely on emails for business, can’t get any notifications. Very annoying situation. I hope Musk comes with Tesla phone.

Unfortunately, there are a ton of people having this same issue with certain apps.

Found a solution. Uninstall and install again the app you are not getting notifications from. Frustrating if you need to do it for a lot of apps but still a solution 🤷‍♀️

How do you uninstall iMessage?

The same issue, I had re set all the notifications and still nothing since I updated my new IPhone to the latest IOS 18.1 .

And I’m still experiencing touch screen issues.

Hi,

Got the problem after installing 18.1.1 and I've tried all the different options mentioned here.

WORKS for me (iPhone 12): Only one thing works and it's reinstalling the app.

I guess when a new app asks for permission to send notifications, that fixes the problem (mends the connection between the app and the iOS notification system somehow...)

Problem is that you only get that on first install, not after... I don't want to reinstall 100+ apps and login to most of them...

After updating the new software 18 all notifications had no sound and did not pop up on the screen when it locked mood. Apple needs to ready look after this matter. My setting is all allow notifications to pop up on the screen now is not working!

Same problem for 2 weeks now.. it’s getting depressing and I might switch to a different brand altogether 🤷‍♂️

Good point made. I’m having the same issue with my iPhone 14 Pro after upgrading to iOS 18.1. I thought I had left the iPhone in “Do Not Disturb” or I “silenced” the iPhone. To add a bit of mud to the issue, the alerts for messaging are not being sent to my Apple Watch 7 which I rely on while out in the field and lugging my photography gear.

This is also the case for me w my iPhone 16 in the standby mode (whether on or off). I have logged out/in, turned off my phone properly, quadruple checked any and all settings against my previous phone’s settings and don’t know what to do next.

Here are a few steps to fix the push notifications issue on your iPhone 13 Pro after the iOS 18 update:

1. Check Notification Settings:

• Go to Settings > Notifications.

• Select the affected apps and ensure that Allow Notifications is enabled, and check that Lock Screen, Notification Center, and Banners are selected.

2. Check Focus Mode:

• Ensure that Focus or Do Not Disturb is not enabled. Go to Settings > Focus and make sure no focus mode is blocking notifications.

3. Turn Off Low Power Mode:

• Go to Settings > Battery and turn off Low Power Mode, as it may prevent push notifications.

4. Check Background App Refresh:

• Go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh and make sure it’s enabled for the affected apps.

5. Reboot Your iPhone:

• Restart your phone by pressing and holding the power button, then sliding to power off. Turn it back on after a few seconds.

6. Check for App Updates:

• Go to the App Store and update the affected apps in case they need updates for iOS 18 compatibility.

7. Reset All Settings:

• Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. This won’t delete your data, but it will reset system settings like Wi-Fi passwords and notifications.

If none of these work, it might be worth waiting for a future iOS 18 patch or contacting Apple Support.
