“I don’t receive WhatsApp notifications”- how to solve. WhatsApp is undoubtedly one of the most used instant messaging apps in the world, so the emergence of doubts, problems, and unknowns is very common and understandable… 100%. Today we focus on one of these very frequent problems- the disappearance of notifications.
In fact, here at TechVaz.com we have sometimes heard people complain that “they no longer receive WhatsApp notifications“, ie when they enter the app they see new messages that the application has not notified correctly. This problem does not have a single solution, but you can read the most probable causes of this effect, let’s see how to do it when “I don’t receive WhatsApp notifications“.
Check the notification settings in the WhatsApp app
In WhatsApp, in particular, in your settings, we can find the “Notifications” category. Here we see a section called “Notification tone”, in which we can choose the sound we want to hear when we receive a message. Right there we should make sure that this tone has not been “Silenced”.
If we scroll down we can see the same settings for groups or calls. If you have problems in those sections, you should also check those settings. You can also find the vibration settings, the pop-up notification or the color of the notification LED.
“I do not receive WhatsApp notifications”, check the notification settings of the Android app
In Android, each application has its “separate settings” within the same Android settings. It sounds complicated, but we see them very clearly if we go to Settings and then enter the Applications category. Here we see all our apps installed.
Therefore, we search and select WhatsApp. Inside, click on “Notifications” and verify that the “Allow notifications” option is activated. If the function is deactivated it means that Android does not grant permission to this app (WhatsApp) to show notifications, although within WhatsApp itself they are activated. Move up Notifications On.
Basically, these are the two most common problems we can encounter when we don’t receive Whatsapp notifications.
Last solution… clear the Whatsapp cache
To empty the cache, you need to:
- Go to the Android Settings.
- Then in the Applications.
- Search for Whatsapp in the list and enter the app settings.
- Go to the Storage space menu.
- Once here click on the Clear cache option.
If you haven’t solved with one of these three solutions, I suggest you contact your operator’s customer service or try reinstalling WhatsApp in the Google store. Were any of the two solutions helpful?
