No Notifications on IPhone 12

I have stopped receiving notifications on all of my apps (messenger, WhatsApp, News etc etc on my IPhone 12. The software has been updated to the latest version and all apps are set up to receive notifications as they always have been. I’ve switched phone off and on several times and double checked all settings and everything appears to be as it should be. It’s been like this for a few weeks now and is causing issues with not getting any messages until I open the various apps to see if I have any notifications, not ideal for urgent matters or even everyday chats etc. I don’t know what else I can do?

Can someone offer any help or advice please? I’m guessing it’s a software problem?

Thank you


iPhone 12, iOS 17

I have the same thing and have had it for a month. Model: 12 PRO. It is very annoying where I have to go into the app to see if I got any messages. In the notification settings I have everything set to 'show'. This also applies to the Watch band, which also does not get notifications. The only notifications I get are calls, messages or from apple apps like sleep.

Are you fixing or investigating this issue?

If you wear Apple Watch, by design, notifications will go to your Apple Watch while you are wearing it, NOT to your iPhone, unless your iPhone screen is active (on). But if the screen is not active and you are wearing your watch, that's where notifications go.

Note the first statement at the top:


Where notifications appear

Notifications appear on your Apple Watch or iPhone, but not both.

Try this step of “hard power off reset”

ie. press side volume button up once and down once - then right button - hold till power off blank screen.. continue to hold till apple logo appears..


Had same problem on iphone XSMax - all notification settings were correct and noticed that location and find my iphone not pinging out as well.. did a privacy setting reset and didn’t help either

everything back to normal after hard power reset.

You can try these fixes which recently I've try when I was stuck with the same issue.


First, check your Notification Settings


Go to Settings > Notifications. Make sure "Show Notifications" is toggled on for the app you're not receiving notifications from.


If above Settings are proper, you can reset network settings: Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.


I hope the above 👆 solutions help you fix it.
