There are times when the problem can even be related to the Internet connection, and in EL ESPAÑOL – El Androide Libre we have compiled some of the possible solutions that can be made to this problem on a cell phone and on a tablet.

Thanks to the Android options, it is possible to deactivate notifications from any application. This can be done generally and with specific methods, like those on the lock screen or those that appear floating. In this way, the operating system allows you to fully customize the experience you have with the applications you download.
However, this also allows them to be deactivated by mistake, causing When a notification arrives to said app, it does not properly notify the user. And if general notifications are disabled, it will be impossible to know when there will be news in this application.
Notification settings
To do this, simply access the full list of installed applications, in the Applications section, in Settings. There you will need to open the tab of each app that is not working properly to open its notification settings and activate all the necessary switches.
Disable optimization
All Android phones have performance optimization features, which may prevent some apps from syncing properly in the background. And the fact is that applications like WhatsApp or Telegram, in which we want to see notifications instantly, can be quite frustrating if it doesn’t happen that way.
App battery optimization

In general, this optimizer generally works fine in this sense, but it is true that there are occasions where this can be the problem. Therefore, if an app is not showing notifications on time, it may be advisable to turn off battery optimization.
To do this, you must also access your individual file. To do this, you need to open Settings and Applications, go to their full list and click on the one that is not working properly. In “App Battery Usage” you can choose the option you prefer. In this case, You will need to click on Unrestricted. Of course, you should only grant this permission to trusted apps, as battery life may be affected.
Other solutions
Another possible error that can occur if something has been touched in the configuration is that the application itself is misconfigured internally. It is therefore also advisable to take a look at its settings to check that everything is correct. In WhatsApp, for example, an error could be the default message tone has been removed, and therefore the cell phone would not ring when they arrived. In fact, in messaging apps, you can even selectively turn off notifications for groups or certain specific chats.
Another problem that notifications may have may be that the application in question correctly connects us to the Internet, which may mean that the information does not reach you in the background. To check it you must also go to the application tab and click on the section called WiFi and mobile data, and once there enable Background Data option.
