iOS 18 Notification Issue - Urgent Attention Required

The behavior of my iPhone 13 Pro is similar to yours, but Apple apps seem to not have an issue with notifications, but for every single 3rd party app notifications don't work at all. Not even the badges. I updated from 18.0.1 to 18.1 and it's the same behavior.

I also have this same problem, No sounds, badges show up I have to open each app to see new content. Also the email doesn’t load automatically I have to refresh it and wait for it to load. This needs to be fixed ASAP or I will be another user leave Apple 🍎 for good. I paid a lot for this phone now I’m starting to think I made a big mistake. Will be waiting for a response from you soon.

Same, but I have Apple 14 w/ 18.1

I figured it out on my phone 14 plus… my phone said do not disturb was off however I asked Siri to turn off do not disturb and It popped up with a toggle switch. I switched it on and then off. Shortly afterwards I started receiving notifications again.

Deleting and re-installing the apps seems to work with my iPhone too. As near as I can figure, something about the permissions for notifications seems to be corrupted or missing, and this restores it. Apple apps are, obviously, allow unless otherwise specified while 3rd party apps are deny unless otherwise specified. So this appears to restore the permissions granted to 3rd party apps.

I tried deleting and reinstalling and it didn’t work. I’ve restarted my phone too. It’s so frustrating and has cost me as one of my apps I’m not getting notifications for has downgraded me as my response to messages sent was more than 12 hours.

To get email notifications for ALL email accounts go to:

Settings, Notifications, Mail, Customize Notifications, and choose All Unread Messages (instead of Unread Messages in Primary).

Same issue but I have iPhone 14 Plus with 18.1

Jonathan162: I'm not sure what thread you're replying to as this one is about apps on iPhones not following settings for notifications and notifying the user. Also, there is an email client on iPhones, but not email servers.

I was responding to the issue of iPhones and iPads not displaying push notifications properly for certain apps after updating to ios18. I found that removing the proton VPN from my iPad seemed to resolve the problem.

I know I didn’t use quite the correct terminology, but it should have been obvious what I was referring to. Rather than nitpicking my choice of words, perhaps try following my advice?

The reason I was "nitpicking" was you were saying to remove an email server that wouldn't be there and VPN apps but didn't mention notifications at all. No one else had posted anything about a VPN app, and since you specified deleting an email server, instead of just email or email client, it looked like your post was in the wrong thread. Since it appears your original post is deleted, it's a bit difficult for other readers to figure out what I was replying to and what your original advice was.

My original comment is still at the bottom of this thread.

to reiterate one last time: if, after updating to ios18.3, you find some apps do not deliver push notifications you can try uninstalling a VPN if you have one. That worked for me.

this conversation is now terminated. Have a nice day.
