iPhone Missing notifications

[rjp1]

I use mail, discord, and slack for work. Before iOS 13, all day long all 3 would pop up on my phone and watch. Now, it is rare for me to ever get a notification.

On iOS 13.2.3, I'll sometimes glance at my phone and realize there 10 notifications that have shown up, but it never made a sound. Sometimes, I see no notifications on the lock screen, but if I go in the apps then there is new stuff that should have triggered a notification. I've tried turning notifications off/on, but it continues.

On watchOS 6.1, I rarely ever get a notification. The only notifications that consistently work are the activity ring notifications. Sometimes other notifications are on my watch, but they never did make a vibration. Sometimes, there is simply no notifications on the watch, but then I check my phone and I've got mail, discord, and slack messages which all should have caused a notification.

All of this worked fine before upgrading to iOS 13. This is becoming a major problem since it makes me appear unprofessional when I don't respond to people. Is anyone else experiencing these issues? Any ideas of how to fix this?

Edit: It is not just those 3 apps. It is all apps on my phone not alerting me for a notification. About 5% of the time, I actually do get alerts. I don't use do not disturb, low battery mode - so they should all be coming in.

I did a restore and now getting Discord and Slack notifications on my phone and watch.

I just opened Mail and mail for the last 5 hours showed up. Still no notification on phone nor watch.

Mail is a total mess, interested in who your email provider is. I use iCloud.com and mail consistently is inconsistent about showing notifications or even loading mail to begin with. The sad part is my outlook.com account seems to have no issue with the mail app.

For mail, see if you can switch to Outlook. That is a proper robust mail client.

Notifications don't work consistently on iOS13. Never have. The issue mainly affects the Mail app but it can impact other apps too. There is no fix.

I’m using iCloud also.

Go to Settings>mail>notifications>iCloud> and under alerts you can choose how you’d like your notifications to come up. Also make sure allow notifications is on. Do the same for iMessage.

So I have been playing around with Mail since iOS 13 and have determined that if I add an Outlook account to Mail I have no issue receiving iCloud notifications, when I delete the Outlook account I no longer receive the iCloud notifications in a timely matter. Basically I have to manually update my iCloud account. It seems the Mail app is in a constant state of inactivity if only connected to the iCloud server. As far as the above statement yes all alerts (notifications) are checked. Interested in anyone else trying my experiment and seeing what the results are.

for me notifications (mainly alert sounds) are pretty inconsistent on ios 13. it doesn't affect only mail, but other instant messangers and imessage too.
i tried almost everything, from notification settings to reset all settings, doesn't help.
i suggest writing a feedback, maybe they will correct the issue in the future

Thanks for the help, but I had checked those weeks ago. Tried disabling notifications and turning them back on.

Updated to 13.3 just now - hopefully they will start appearing.
