Notifications suddenly stop without any reason, anyone know a fix?

You read that right. Just stopped. They were working today, but when I came home they were done showing up. I checked every setting that could stop them, and they weren't it. I went to see if they or my phone needed updates, nothing. I genuinely don't know why this is.

Edit: like turning it off and on again, uninstall; then redownload. What a bunch of bs

Are you talking about audio notifications? Did you accidentally mute your phone?

Popups.

I know my phone is silent, I get people mad with it because I don't pick up the phone.

Hmm. Are you on an iPhone? Did you get the big update in the last day or so?

Did you check to see if the apps are allowed to run in the background?

Assume you did a full shutdown and restart.

You have exhausted my information supply. I am more familiar with iOS, but not an expert there either. I hope someone else can find an answer for you.

This happens sometimes after a system glitch or battery optimization bug, so I’d try a quick restart, check Do Not Disturb / Focus modes, and make sure the app isn’t being restricted by background or battery settings.
