Not getting email notifications on iPhone
Mail notifications are disabled either in the Mail app settings or in your overall notification settings. Turning them back on takes 30 seconds.
When you don't get notifications for email, it's because notifications are disabled in the Mail app, turned off in your iPhone's notification settings, or Do Not Disturb is on. We'll turn them back on and make sure your phone alerts you when email arrives.
