Notifications aren't showing up on your Android phone
You've turned off notifications or your phone is in Do Not Disturb mode. Check if Do Not Disturb is on by swiping down from the top of your screen — if it is, turn it off. Then go to Settings → Apps → [App name] → Notifications and turn them on.
Notifications get blocked for several reasons: Do Not Disturb is on, the app has notifications disabled in your phone's settings, battery saver is limiting background activity, or the app permissions are turned off. The fix depends on which one is blocking them, but in most cases it's just a toggle you need to switch back on.
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step — just tap, no typing needed.
Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Turning off all notifications to stop unwanted alerts instead of just disabling specific apps — this breaks notifications for important apps too
- Not realizing Do Not Disturb is on because the icon is small — always check the quick settings first
- Thinking an app is broken when actually Battery Saver is blocking it — turn off Battery Saver and try again
Signs you need professional help
- You've turned on notifications for the app and Do Not Disturb is off, but still nothing
- Notifications work for some apps but not others with no obvious pattern
- The app crashes when you try to change notification settings
