In the age of mobile technology, smartphones have become an integral part of our daily lives. One of the key features of these devices is their ability to deliver timely notifications from various applications, keeping us informed and connected. However, it can be frustrating when applications fail to send notifications as expected. If you're facing this issue, you're not alone. In this article, we will explore potential reasons why your Samsung phone's applications may not be sending notifications and provide troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the problem.

Notification
1 Open the Quick settings panel.

Swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Quick settings panel.

2 Turn off Power saving.

If it's illuminated, tap the Power saving icon to turn off Power saving mode. This could be preventing notifications from displaying.

Power saving mode

DND
1 Navigate to Battery settings.

Navigate to and open Settings. Swipe to and tap Battery and device care, and then tap Battery.

2 Remove apps from Sleeping apps.

Tap Background usage limits, and then tap Sleeping apps. Touch and hold the app you don't want to sleep, and then tap remove.

If the app doesn't appear in this list, go back and tap Deep sleeping apps. Tap and hold the app, and then tap remove.

Note: If you have added any apps to sleeping apps, it means they have entered a powering save mode. If they are "sleeping," some of their functions may be unavailable when the app is closed. For example, they may not send notifications.

1 Turn on notifications.

Navigate to Settings, then tap Apps, and then tap the app that is experiencing the issue. Tap Notifications, and then turn on notifications by tapping the switch next to Allow notifications.

Some apps allow you to choose what types of notifications you will receive. After tapping Notifications, make sure the notifications are enabled for your desired categories.

Many apps also allow more control of notifications when you tap on a category. You can make certain categories silent, choose what sound they make, or even allow them to still make a sound when Do not disturb is enabled.

1 Check the settings in the app.

Some apps may have additional notification settings within the app itself. You may need to open the app and check its settings, menus, or help system.
