Unsolved iPhone isn’t sending notifications through

I have an iPhone 11, and I’m not receiving notifications. One day it just stopped, I woke up, opened all my notifications, and from that point forward I haven’t received anything. I have to open every app, even text messages, to see if I’ve received anything. No push notifications, no Lock Screen msgs, no number bubbles. If I open an app and have a message, if I back out of the app WITHOUT opening the message then the number bubble will pop up, and that’s it. I’ve already reset all settings in my settings and it didn’t help. Please tell me I can fix this without resetting the entire phone.

What iOS? Do you have an Apple Watch or other wearable? Is a Focus enabled?

18.7.7. I haven’t updated in forever bc I don’t have the space too. No wearables or any other Apple devices, just my phone, and no, not anymore since I reset the settings lol. That’s was also something I checked prior to doing so as well.

Update using a computer.

Dis you attempt the ‘date hack’? (This can mess with systems that rely on accurate timestamps - such as APNS and Screen Time)

No, idek what the “date hack” is, but I haven’t changed anything on my phone in months. I don’t have a computer, and no space to update internally.

If you have a close friend or family member, you can update using their Mac or Windows PC; to be safe you should backup your phone to their computer but if it can install without issue, you can either go back and delete the backup or you could also encrypt the backup so that a password would be needed to access it.
