So, if this happens to you, the first thing you should do is restart or turn off the mobile and turn it back on. If it still doesn’t work, you should check a few things to see what’s going on and analyze the situation. But first check that it’s not due to any mobile update or that you really need to update to solve this problem.
They have been accidentally deactivated
Although in many cases a simple restart or update solves the problem, sometimes it doesn’t, so you have to see if it fails in just one application, in several or in all of them. If it is in just one or two applications, we recommend that you check that what is happening is that You haven’t accidentally turned off notificationsor some of them. Maybe someone has even disabled them after taking your phone. Although it may seem like a complicated thing to do, it is not that complicated or maybe you have disabled them because they were bothering you and suddenly you find yourself without them. Also check if there are no some device, such as a watch or bracelet, that receives them and that’s why you don’t hear them on your cell phone.
Check if you have removed all notifications or some of them. very easy from the mobile settings, Although it will depend on the model you have, the route may vary slightly:
- Go to settings
- Tap on Notifications
- Check if they are activated or something is wrong
- Tap on App Notifications (if you don’t see it go back and look for it in Notifications settings)
- Choose the app and see if they are activated
- Tap on the app you are interested in and check if the sound bar is activated
- If there is something wrong there, fix it and see if it stops failing from now on.
Update the app or uninstall it
If it happens to you in a single app, it is possible that it is a fault with it. Therefore, check if there is any update that fixes the problemit may be failing because it has not been updated for a long time. Or make sure that it is not a new version that is causing the problem.
Another thing you can do, if it still doesn’t work and there is no update available, is uninstall the app and reinstall it from scratch. We recommend that you delete it, restart your phone and reinstall it from the phone’s app store. In many cases, doing this alone will fix issues with notifications not sounding or others.
Check if you have battery saving
You may have battery saving mode or something similar that may affect the correct functioning of notifications. As soon as you activate this mode, it warns you that some notifications may fail or not be heard. Therefore, if you have activated it, it is probably the cause. It is possible that some notifications will sound, others will not, others will not reach you or there may be problems with them.
It’s not that your phone has gone crazy, but that you have this function activated, which affects your notifications. You can try disabling it and check if it works normally again or if it’s not your fault. Another mode could also be activated, such as do not disturb mode.
Normally, with these few Checks that don’t take any time at all You will find out what is wrong with your phone and you will be able to fix it, but if not, you may have to take it to a technician. If you want before that, you can reset the device to factory settings.
