WhatsApp notifications not working after iOS 17.4 Update

I updated my iPhone 15pro today to iOS 17.4 and it suddenly stopped showing my WhatsApp notifications. I can see I have new text messages from the red bubble, but it isn’t notifying me. I tried resetting the WhatsApp notifications, and also the ones directly from the phone’s settings, but nothing is working. Does anyone know what to do?

All of the above….but whatsapp notifications have stopped working for 17.3 and 17.4. I’ve checked notification settings, both on the phone and in the app; tried wifi and network, hard phone reset, deleting and re-downloading the app. Even tried moving my WhatsApp account to my old iphone 14 pro max from my 15 pro max. Absolutely notning works - messages come in, but no banners or badges or sounds; you have to open the chat to see them.

iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. Notifications issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.


Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone notifications.


Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.
