A question from an iPhone Virgin

[HoddzDJ]

Having read through all of this thread I feel I can help. However there are a few things you need to check and also in the correct order otherwise it's pretty pointless.

First step is the Apple settings app...

Settings - Notifications - Whatsapp

Make sure notifications are on. Make sure sounds are also set to on.

Now you need to head into Whatsapp and check the settings there...

Whatsapp - Settings - Notifications

Make sure there isn't text at the top that says 'WARNING: Push Notifications are disabled. To enable visit: iPhone Settings > Notification Center > WhatsApp'

There are three settings here. Message, Group and Call. Make sure all of them are set to on. Also make sure there is a sound assigned to them. The defaults are Message and group 'Note' and call is set to 'Opening'

There is also an in app notification section. This should all be fine as you have said it works when you are in the app.

Also, just out of interest, which version of Whatsapp are you using? This can be found in Whatsapp - Settings - About.

Version 2.12.4. Everything is as you say. But no change. I do not have sounds set to be on as I only want vibrate. I do not want it to sound.

So with sounds on it also vibrates. But I can't have sound on. I never did before and it vibrated. .

Regardless of weather you want sounds, they need to be set on. The physical mute switch on your iPhone will override this. Try it and you may be pleasantly surprised.

Willing to try anything. I'll let you know.

Job done. Thank you. I must have turned the mute button off by mistake.

No problem at all 🙂
