WhatsApp pop-up notifications are a great way to stay up to date with the conversations you are having on the application. However, there are some users who have reported issues with not being able to receive pop-up notifications from WhatsApp. This can be a frustrating issue, as it means that you could miss an important message or conversation. Here, we will explore why you might not be able to get pop-up notifications on WhatsApp and what you can do about it.
The first thing to check is whether or not you have enabled push notifications for WhatsApp on your device. Push notifications allow the app to send a notification when a new message arrives, and this needs to be switched on in order for you to receive pop-ups. To do this, go into your device’s settings and look for the ‘Notifications’ option. Here, you should find an option for ‘Allow Notifications’ – make sure this is switched on for WhatsApp.
If push notifications are enabled but you still aren’t receiving any pop-ups, then the next step is to check your phone’s Do Not Disturb settings. If Do Not Disturb is enabled, then it could be blocking WhatsApp from sending its pop-ups. To check this, go into your phone’s settings and look for the ‘Do Not Disturb’ option. Here, ensure that all options related to WhatsApp (e.g., Allow Exceptions) are set correctly so that they don’t interfere with its ability to send pop-ups.
In some cases, it might be necessary to uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp in order to resolve any issues with pop-up notifications. Before doing this however, make sure that you back up any messages or conversations that you don’t want to lose (as they will be deleted when uninstalling). Once the app has been reinstalled, set up push notifications again following the steps above and test whether this has resolved the issue.
Conclusion:
Ultimately, if you’re having trouble getting pop up notifications from WhatsApp then there are a few things that can be done in order to resolve the issue. Firstly, make sure that push notifications are enabled in your device’s settings and ensure that Do Not Disturb mode isn’t blocking them from being sent out by WhatsApp. If all else fails then it may be necessary to uninstall and reinstall the app in order for it work properly again.
