Solved: S20+ Not getting notifications

Taylor0304 · ‎17-03-2020

Since getting my S20+ everything has been great, yet I've noticed within the last day or two that I'm not getting notifications anymore. I won't see WhatsApp or Instagram messages unless I open the apps. I'm not getting app icon badges either. My phone is on loud and I have notifications turned on for both of these applications. I've tried restarting the phone and deleting and reinstalling WhatsApp and the issue still continues.

so i was having the same.issues with my newly purchased S20. I wasnt getting certain notifications like Instagram and google voice but then i finally figured it out. I had an app on my phone called security master and another one for locking my apps. I discovered these apps were interfering or blocking the notifications so if u have similar apps you have installed to password protect your apps, either uninstall them or change the settings that are blocking your notifications . I hope it works for u guyz. I was literally on my way to go return the phone when i tried this and it worked

Hey @Taylor0304! Please go to: Settings > Notifications > Allow notifications for all apps. Also, go to: Settings > Sounds and vibration > Notification sounds > Notifications for all apps > Make sure this is toggled on. Next, go to: Settings > Software update > Download updates manually. Finally, do a Soft Reset on your phone by holding the Volume Down as well as the Power buttons for 10 seconds.

I'm having the same issue. I've tried all the suggested fixes and none have helped.

It's super frustrating as it's extended to my galaxy watch. My phone won't receive a notification so my watch won't either. I'm ready to throw my expensive phone in the trash.
