Sometimes, it might also be an account issue, where notifications work for one account but not another on the same device. In this article, we will discuss different ways to solve this error.
1. Enable Auto-Sync on Android
When notifications stop, apps may not be syncing data. Enabling Auto-Sync on Android lets apps like Facebook refresh and fetch data for real-time notifications. Without it, notifications can be delayed or missed since the app only updates manually. Auto-Sync keeps the app and server connected for timely updates. Note: The name of this menu option may differ by manufacturer. You may also find it under “Accounts”. Note: If you don’t see Facebook listed, tap on Add account and enter your Facebook user credentials.
That’s it. Wait for a new notification to come in to see if they are working properly.
2. Enabling Push Notifications on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
If you’re not getting Facebook notifications, turn on push notifications on your iPhone or iPad. This keeps your device connected to the app’s server, sending real-time alerts even if the app is closed. Now, check to see if notifications are appearing properly on your iOS device.
3. Fix Facebook Notifications on Huawei’s EMUI
To get Facebook notifications on Huawei devices with EMUI, allow Facebook to run in the background and disable battery optimization for it. This prevents EMUI from blocking updates. Note: “Ignoring” an app lets it run without any battery restrictions. Facebook notifications should now be working on your Huawei device.
4. Fix Android Notifications from the Desktop Version of Facebook
Managing notifications on Android through Facebook’s desktop version syncs app behavior with account settings. This can fix missing notifications by setting them correctly across platforms. Desktop adjustments override local app issues causing notifications to be blocked or delayed, resolving account-specific problems on all devices. Note: Enter Facebook’s address in the address bar, tap the action button, and enable Request Desktop Site.
That’s it. Wait for a notification to come in and see if it shows. Don’t forget to re-enable Apps, Websites, and Plugins from the desktop version of Facebook.
