I am not receiving push notifications on my iPhone after iOS 18 update

Update: I uninstalled and reinstalled all apps I wasn’t receiving notifications for and it helped. But for how long is it going to work for? I hope this issue doesn’t arise again bc that was very frustrating and annoying to have to uninstall, reinstall, then sign back into everything.

I can concur with the notifications issue as still being persistent, but it now more annoying with the new iOS 18.4 update installed. With 18.3 push notifications would reach the phone, but the screen would remain off, with only an audible chime sound, or a notification bar would appear on the screen when the screen is powered on manually, but would be a blank bar or multiple blank bars. Now with 18.4, the iPhone 15P does not even turn on the screen or has any chime sounds, no notifications awareness of any type. Reset notifications sounds to difference sounds, same issue, no improvement. Completely unreliable phone, Awful QA from Apple on this latest iOS update.

I've bought 2 iPhones 16 for me and my wife. We updated it to iOS 18.4 and we both have problem with push notifications. To reproduce this problem: just lock your phone, idle it for 10-20 minutes and try to write to your WhatsApp or Telegram from other phone. You will see that message from another WhatsApp don't arrive to your phone (1 checkmark in WhatsApp, for example). Just tried everything and DFU too on both devices - the problem still exist. Apple, please fix this, there're a lot of people here with this IMPORTANT issue. Hope, that this will be fixed in iOS 18.4.1 or 18.5 later.

These recent updates are having me seriously question my relationship with Apple.

problems I had with since iOS 18 started;

• The notification issue
• first update was killing my battery, seems like 18.2 did fix this.
• would not allow me to fully sign in to Apple for 3 days. Supports couldn’t fix other than suggestion a factory reset.
• do not disturb has got a life of its own and will not turn off. I had to totally disable it. Now I have to manually sign out of teams at night

Did apple ever solved this problem? Or just want us to upgrade our phone.

Was having this issue with iMessage on a 16 Pro

Going to General > Transfer or reset iPhone > Reset All Settings fixed it for me

This has become a real issue!

What is standby mode? Airplane mode?

That is mansplaining at its best. This is a problem far beyond the common sense list that you provided.

Thanks to Apple team for putting us in a new trouble, I don't get notifications from any messenger unless we open the application.

After iOS update 18 my text notifications were turned off. Pretty ridiculous and unacceptable.

between your Apple TV remotes intermittently not controlling and disruptive iOS updates. Apple is sure going downhill fast.

SOLVED!!

It’s a push notification issue with iOS18. It effects non Apple apps only. Don’t waste your time calling Apple because they will refer you to the app creator. To fix it you have to go to settings-general-iPhone storage and then delete and redownload whichever apps you’re not getting notifications for. You basically have to redo the permission that pops up when you first download an app that asks for permission to send you notifications.

#7, reset all settings, fixed the notification issues. But, get use to setting up your phone again for the next week or so. You’ll have to login to your all your WiFi-s with your password again, set up signing in with your password and face recognition with all your apps; tailor all your display, font, focus, sound & haptics settings again; almost like a brand new phone, except your apps and data are there. Pretty annoying.

I will probably refrain from any updates indefinitely. I already use F2A with hard passkeys, and a VPN, so the security argument for conducting updates is watered down enough for my risk tolerance. With the “leave no child behind” generation securely in today’s workforce, these half-assed updates they’re putting out aren’t worth the trouble.

I’ll be setting up a secure googless android to replace the iPhone soon enough. Abstaining from any new Apple products from here on out will be my weaning off Apple period. This sort of thing has happened too often.

Ok, have similar problem. After uparte to iOS 18 first Apple Mail app stoper sending sound notification for Gmail account, have 3 accounts, other 2 Works. Then found that some new freshly installed apps dont have sound notifications. I have tried all solution form this thread and others , nothing worked.
