Over the past few weeks we have had hundreds of emails from readers who are no longer getting alerts after Facebook upgraded and phone software upgraded. Especially on iPhones. After some research a reader sent this solution which seems to work.
FROM A READER
This worked on my Iphone (I found it on another forum):
“I have had this same problem for over a year now, they wouldn’t work on my iPhone iPad android phones or tablets. It has nothing to do with resetting anything, clearing caches, reinstalling or restoring. There is an app that you have connected to your Facebook which has blocked your notifications.
Head into your Facebook app and click on account settings, click on the apps button and turn all platforms off. Close the app in your multitask by double clicking your home button and closing the app from there. Get someone send you a test and bam…. Notifications I never thought I would see a Facebook notifications ever again! Head back into your settings and turn platforms back on. Your apps will be gone but I’m sure you can reconnect them when you use them again.”
