WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging applications worldwide, used by millions of people to communicate daily. And with so many millions of users constantly using the app, it is normal that from time to time it suffers crashes and errors that make it impossible to function correctly.
However, there are times when WhatsApp does not work as it should, but the fault is not Meta, but rather ourselves or our device that is failing for some reason. One of the common problems that users face is lack of message notifications.
Causes why you do not receive notifications on WhatsApp and its solution
As we said, it is important to understand that there are several possible reasons for this to occur, and each one requires a specific solution.
Configure WhatsApp notifications
The first thing you should check is the notification settings within the application itself. Open WhatsApp and go to Settings, and click on Notifications. Here, make sure Notifications are turned on for individual messages, groups, and calls.
Activate notifications on your device
In addition to WhatsApp settings, device notifications must be correctly configured. On Android, go to Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Notifications and make sure notifications are enabled. On iOS, go to Settings > Notifications > WhatsApp and check that Allow Notifications is turned on.
You have Do Not Disturb Mode or silence activated
Another common reason is that tYour device is in Do Not Disturb Mode or on silenteither. On many devices, this mode disables all notifications. Check to see if it is enabled, and if so, disable it. On Android, you can do this from the status bar or in Settings > Sound. On iOS, go to Settings > Do Not Disturb.
You have connection problems
WhatsApp notifications depend on a stable internet connection. If you are in an area with a weak signal or your Wi-Fi is not working properly, you may not receive notifications. Make sure you are connected to a stable Wi-Fi network or have a good signal mobile data.
You have pending updates
Have an outdated version of WhatsApp or your device’s operating systemor it may cause notification problems. Make sure you have the latest version of WhatsApp installed from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Also check if there are any pending updates to your device’s operating system and, if so, install them.
