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

itz0xy - NO! Do not follow these steps! Unnecessarily resetting all of your settings, especially WiFi passwords setting, etc., is useless since these steps do not resolve the issues with notifications. All you’re left with is a phone that cannot connect to all of your saved WiFi networks and still does not receive any notifications. This is an Apple iOS issue!! And apple needs to get off their seats and get it in gear to fix this!

I noticed after updating to 18.1 that I too wasn't receiving push notifications and tried all the remedies that have been suggested and nothing fixed it. In the end I actually erased my phone and set up as new, didn't use a back up to set it up and although its been long and tedious re-installing all my apps, I have noticed that push notifications have begun working again.

However, there are some apps where the notifications just aren't working, and the ones that are seem to have quite a delay before receiving them.

It's actually not just push notifications I'm noticing this on, when you have to send a code to your phone via text to authenticate yourself for different sites etc, I'm noticing quite a delay in receiving those texts as well.

Very frustrating and I hope it's fixed in 18.2 as well as the touch screen responsiveness. I'm still having issues with that bug.

What is stand by mode? Airplane mode?

This has become a real issue!

That is mansplaining at its best. This is a problem far beyond the common sense list that you provided.

Just updated to 18.1.1.

issue remains. The only app that works is my Eufy security app

no messaging apps work, the ones you can reinstall I have to no avail.

If my phone is unlocked and the screen is active they do work which defeats the object.

I also have an Apple Watch and this is compounded/linked as that has an issue with no haptics working since upgrading.

After iOS update 18 my text notifications were turned off. Pretty ridiculous and unacceptable.

between your Apple TV remotes intermittently not controlling and disruptive iOS updates. Apple is sure going downhill fast.

I had the same issue with native Mail app not notifying on lock screen, had 3 advisors 2 at Senior team level to diagnose the issue and not working. I dont use icloud email but the yahoo gmail and POP mails.

I have tried force restarting, deleting and reinstall Mail app and even reset iphone to a new iphone and downloading all apps from icloud! Doesnt wotk! I can get lock screen notifications from other apps even the third party apps but not from the native Mail app.

Its annoying when you hace to login to see the mails.

I think it is a bug with the iOS and when i checked my wife's iphone seems it is also affecting her iphone.

I actually scheduled a visit to  store and to get the technician to check my iphone probably the software or configurations etc. Not sure if they can get it done.

Not sure if they can make things work.

SOLVED!!

It’s a push notification issue with iOS18. It effects non Apple apps only. Don’t waste your time calling Apple because they will refer you to the app creator. To fix it you have to go to settings-general-iPhone storage and then delete and redownload whichever apps you’re not getting notifications for. You basically have to redo the permission that pops up when you first download an app that asks for permission to send you notifications.

All you have to do is delete and redownload the apps that you’re not getting notifications for. The issue is surrounding the notification permissions. When you download the app again you’ll get the push notification that asks for permission. Once you allow it will be fixed.

Not true because Apple installed apps such as Messages cannot be deleted; only removed from Home Screen. And when you have a ton of apps, especially for business purposes, “all you have to do” is have Apple do their jobs and fix the problem they created.

Did apple ever solved this problem? Or just want us to upgrade our phone.

Was having this issue with iMessage on a 16 Pro

Going to General > Transfer or reset iPhone > Reset All Settings fixed it for me

I am having the same issue. On an IPhone 16 Pro.

Has anyone tried installing any of the Beta versions of iOS 18? If so did that help the issue?

Tried that did not work.
