WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging platforms out there and for good reason – it’s simple, effective, and free. But if you’re not getting notifications from WhatsApp when messages come in, it can be difficult to keep up with all the conversations you’re having. Fortunately, there are a few steps you can take to make sure that your notifications show up when they should.
1. Check Your Notification Settings
The first thing you should do is make sure that your notification settings are configured correctly.
In the WhatsApp app, go to Settings > Notifications and make sure that “Show Notifications” is enabled. You can also customize the sound and vibration settings, as well as the type of notifications you receive.
2. Check Do Not Disturb Mode
If Do Not Disturb mode is enabled on your device, it will prevent any notifications from showing up.
To check this setting, go to your device’s Settings app and find Do Not Disturb or Priority Mode (depending on which device you have). If enabled, turn it off and then check if WhatsApp notifications are appearing.
3. Restart Your Device
If none of the above steps have worked so far, try restarting your device. This will reset any software issues that might be preventing WhatsApp notifications from showing up properly.
4. Uninstall & Reinstall WhatsApp
In some cases, uninstalling and reinstalling WhatsApp may be necessary in order to get notifications back on track.
Before doing this make sure to backup any important data such as chats or media files.
Conclusion
By following these steps you should have no problem getting your WhatsApp notifications to show up when messages come in. Remember to check your notification settings within the app as well as making sure Do Not Disturb mode isn’t enabled on your device before taking more drastic measures like uninstalling/reinstalling WhatsApp.
