Hi,
Your notifications might be missing due to active Focus modes, misconfigured app-specific settings, or disabled iPhone Mirroring on your Mac.
Check the following concrete settings on your devices to restore your notifications:
1. iPhone 16
- Disable Focus Modes: Swipe down to open the Control Center and ensure no Focus modes (like Do Not Disturb) are active.
- Check Scheduled Summaries: Go to Settings > Notifications and tap the affected app. Ensure your delivery is set to Immediate Delivery instead of a scheduled summary.
- Show as Banners: Make sure that Banner or Lock Screen is checked on the app's notification page.[1, 2]
2. MacBook Air
- Allow iPhone Notifications: Navigate to System Settings > Notifications. Toggle on Allow notifications from iPhone.
- Review App Settings: Go to Settings > Notifications on your iPhone, tap on a specific app, and ensure Show on Mac is enabled.
- Check Focus Modes: Click the Control Center at the top-right of your Mac's menu bar to verify Do Not Disturb is turned off.
If these steps do not immediately fix the problem, verify that both devices are connected to Wi-Fi and signed into the same Apple account.
