Not receiving Gmail Notifications

GordonLutz

By default it should so you must have disabled them somehow, accidentally maybe.

Long press on the GMail icon and pick App Info, go to Permissions, then Notifications and see if they’re turned off and if so turn them on.

Cause I doubt you accidentally turned them off in the GMail app itself, but possibly, so you could check it’s settings.

Hi everyone, I noticed many of you are facing issues with receiving Gmail notifications on your phone. Here are some potential solutions to help you fix it:

1. Check Your Device’s Notification Settings:

Make sure that notifications are enabled for the Gmail app. Here’s how:

Open your device’s Settings app.
Tap Notifications.
Scroll down and select Email (or Gmail, depending on your phone).
Ensure Allow Notifications is turned ON.

2. Adjust Gmail’s Notification Settings:

You can customize your Gmail notification preferences within the app itself:

Open the Gmail app.
Tap the Menu icon (three lines in the top left).
Go to Settings.
Select your email account.
Tap Notifications.
Choose your preferred notification level (e.g., All, High Priority Only, or None).

3. Update the Gmail App and System Software:

Outdated apps or operating systems can cause issues with notifications. Make sure you have the latest version:

Update Gmail app: Go to the Google Play Store (Android) or App Store (iPhone) and check for updates.
Update your system software: Go to Settings > Software Update and install any available updates.

4. Turn Off Power Saving Mode:

Power saving mode can limit app activities, including notifications. Ensure that your phone’s power saving mode is turned off:

Open Settings.
Tap Battery or Power Management.
Turn off any power-saving features or set it to a less restrictive mode.

5. Check Browser Permissions for Notifications (if using a browser):

If you’re using Gmail on a web browser, ensure that notifications are allowed:

Open Settings on your browser.
Go to Privacy and Security.
Tap Site Settings > Notifications.
Ensure that Gmail is allowed to send notifications.

Additional Ideas to Try:

Reinstall Gmail: Uninstall and reinstall the Gmail app to reset any settings that may be causing issues.
Clear Cache: Clear the cache of the Gmail app (in Settings > Apps > Gmail > Storage > Clear Cache).
Check Sync Settings: Ensure that Sync Gmail is enabled in your account settings (Gmail app > Settings > [Account] > Sync Gmail).

Hopefully, one of these steps helps you resolve the issue. If it doesn’t, consider reaching out to Google Support for further troubleshooting!
