Facebook push notifications not working for Iphone 4S running IOS6

I recently updated the operating system to iphone 4s to IOS6. Since the update, I do not receive Facebook push notifications. I also noticed that the facebook app does not appear under Settings>Notifications. I checked "Notification Center" and "Not in Notification Center" and the app is not listed at all. I tried "Reset all Settings" under Settings>General>Reset, but to no avail. I noticed that if I delete the Facebook App and reinstall it, that it will reappear in the Notification Center; however, I still do not receive any push notifications. Lastly, if I turn the phone off and then back on again, the facebook app disappears from the notification center until I reinstall it. I have checked and rechecked all settings and they seem correct.


Anyone else run into this issue? If so, any help would be appreciated.


Thanks!

iPhone 4S, iOS 6

Im having the same problem! No notifications from facebook on my Ipod touch 4 g. It was working fine until I installed the facebook messenger app. Then ALL the notifications from the facebook build in app dissapeared, I started receiving messages notifications from the messenger app but the rest of notifications (posts,likes etc..) was gone. I tried to uninstall the messenger app but it did not solve the problem.Later on I decided to reinstall the messenger app,after all,I was receiving messages notifications through this one but after I reinstall it it wasnt working anymore 😟 😟 Now I have 2 apps and none of them give me any notifications!

Im very upset about this situation since I got my ipod as a birthday present 1 week ago. Please help me!

Oh !.. I'm so sorry for you guys.. I don't know why it didn't work for you..

I believe that this problem came through since I updated the facebook app itself..Not from iOS6

That's why I deleted old stuff before..


Anyway, I'm going to tell what I did again..

1. sign out from facebook

2. delete the app

3. delete cach,cookies,data,history ( I wish I could soak my device into water and wash it by soap if I could by that time😝)

4. turn the device off and then on in a few minutes later (30 minutes might not help 😉)

5. download the app back

6. set facebook app from setting menu to allow notification

7. go to notification of the phone looking for facebook and then set the alert style to "Alerts" that means it will right away popup in the middle of screen if someone reach you.

8. log in to facebook

9. go to account setting make it allows notification

10. turn the phone off again (it might not necessary to do that but I did..😁)


Once I turned the phone on.. a few minutes later.. I got the miracle.. something popup on screen.. I was so exciting and right away hit that pop up.. It brought me to the facebook..then I hit the problem button that I had.. I saw a little thing moving around on top.... second time exciting.. (increased from first a half left) and then list of notification dropt down with lists.. By that time house's wall has broken from my screaming.. 😝


Those all I did.. I know how annoyed I had before and I hope it help you get rid of that feeling..

Crossing my fingers for you and wish you luck... 😍


P.S. I wish any one from facebook app&apple team come visit this page..So they know how well they could drive people crazy !! 😁😁

I had the same problem and I just fixed it...
If I had to guess, did you guys had facebook messenger installed on your iphone? If you did, it's more likely that is causing the problem, because once i installed it, i stopped receiving notifications, but it kept going like that even after i deleted it. So here's what i did to fix it.
On a computer, open facebook on your account and in the search bar, type facebook,
Select first, facebook for iphone... Then on the right side, click Remove.
This will log you out of your app.

Next, do the same but choose facebook messenger for iphone this time.... And Remove it too.

Now, log in back to your facebook app, and all notifications will work out just fine.

Now let's hope they make better apps next time instead of focusing on putting new features .-.
Hope i helped.
