S25 no notifications on screen only vibrate but no pop ups

[jamesband]

I have been a apple iPhone user for many years. And I decided to buy this samsung 

s 25

Long story short, I think I have made the biggest mistake of my life. I am totally dissatisfied with this phone. It does not do the simplest things like give me notifications on my screen. When I get a whatsapp message or a email.

I will never buy a Samsung phone ever again. I can't believe there's no patch or fix for this issue. As I believe a lot of people have faced similar issues .

Before anyone replies, I have already followed every single step and believe 

me, it's nothing to do with my settings

This phone is rubbish.

Hello 👋 @jamesband 

There must be something in your settings that is stopping this. 

I say this because on my Samsung Galaxy s²⁵ Ultra i get these 🤔 

I appreciate you say you've followed steps already. 

May I suggest to perform a forum search as you may find already existing threads with help and advice within. 

In your Notifications Settings , Lock Screen Notifications are Cards chosen. 

Show content is also activated on mine. 

How-to-fix-the-notifications-not-appearing-on-my-samsung-device. 

A generic troubleshooting step is > Clear Cache Files from the phone's System Partition Section  > https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-clear-the-cache-on-my-device/ You may need to insert your earphones or hook upto a powered On Laptop or use a Tv's USB Port or a usb-c to usb-c phone to phone set up to access the Clear Partition Section. This may help with lag or stutters as this clears the phone of old/unused or broken cache files.There is also a Repair Apps option in the Menu System too { Possibly excluding the s²⁴ Series of phone's } 

If i can be of any further help please don't hesitate to ask  😎

On my S25 Ultra, I get vibrations, camera flash, full screen popups showing who it is and repeating until answered for FB messages, text's.
All this can be done in settings/notifications. I'm deaf due to Tinnitus, so this is important. This is a extremely advanced phone so it took me awhile of tinkering to get it right. I was frustrated at first but got it figured out after a few tries. There are LOT's of options. Since your coming from I-phones is why your having problems... Completely different phones, after awhile you'll be okay. I always have the pdf manual on my phone as well. And if all else fails, I come to this forum and also  google search.

Hi! This isn't something I or most of the community experience, so there must be something in your settings. Have you tried any troubleshooting methods?

As you're new to Android, I would suggest using Smart Tutor—a service from Samsung to help with your device.
