Facebook and Messenger app Push Notifications not working.

I have an iPhone 3GS and iPad 2 and my Facebook app and Messenger Push notifications just decided to stop working literally minutes after it just did. How can I fix this? I am running the lastest version of iOS 7 on my iPad and 6.1 on my iPhone. Please, help. I've googled this but there was only one page on the Facebook site that was unhelpful. Thanks, in advance.

I've already tried reinstalling and restarting both devices. I now get comment notifications on my ipad but no chat and still nothing on my phone. I don't understand what happened. It was working 2 hours ago.

Facebook For iOS App Push Notifications Not Working

Been seeing a lot of Threads for this problem but with no proper solution.
Ever since I updated my Facebook App to v9.0, I havent had any push notifications come to my phone. I've tried uninstalling/deleting the app & other connected apps (Paper, FB messenger) , logging out of the iOS integration, Resetting my phone, etc. but nothing's worked. The App doesn't even ask me if I want to Activate Notifications anymore when I Re-Install it....
The Phone Notifications are set to show in the lock screen & all, and the Push Notifications in the app are set to push for "All Notifications", but On the Web client I noticed that I had "Some notifications" listed in the settings (and I can't change those on the web, because it tells you to change them in the app) . The only way I know i have Notifications now is through the App Badge,, via Email or through Paper's Notification setup (But i still dont get all of them) ...
I wonder if it could be a server issue on Faceobook's End. There has to be some way to fix this problem....Help!!!

Hi C_S1,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you are having some issues with Facebook notifications on your iPhone. It sounds like you have already done some great troubleshooting. I suggest looking at the Troubleshooting notifications section of the following article just to verify your previous steps.
iOS: Understanding notifications
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3576
Troubleshooting notifications
Push notifications require an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection.
Note: Notifications use Wi-Fi only when a cellular connection is unavailable. Firewalls and proxy servers may affect your ability to receive notifications. For more information, see Unable to use Apple Push Notification service (APNs).
If you're not receiving notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
Verify that the app supports notifications.
After installing an app or restoring a backup to a different iOS device, open the app to begin receiving notifications. If the app requires entering or logging in to an account, you will need to do this before receiving notifications.
Check Settings > Notification Center to ensure that the app is configured for notifications. If notifications do not appear in the Notification Center, verify that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.
I hope this helps,
-Joe

Facebook and Facebook Messenger message push notifications not working?

I have a 4th generation iPod touch running iOS 6.1.5 and an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4. On my iPod touch, Facebook and Facebook Messenger give me notifications for everything. On my iPhone, the Facebook app gives me every notification except for messages. Facebook Messenger, on the other hand, doesn't give me any kind of notification aside from the in-app notifications. I've been missing important messages on my iPhone because of this. I've set all notifications settings on my iPhone to "on." I turned on all the notifications settings in the notification center, the apps themselves, and even the Facebook integrated settings under Settings > Facebook. I also tried everything from uninstalling and reinstalling, to hard booting, to logging in and out of the applications, and I even turned off Facebook platform on the computer. I was wondering if this has something to do with being online on both my iPod touch and my iPhone, but my mom has an iPad 3 (I think?) and an iPhone 5s and she never has notification problems. I've already tried Googling my problem up, but none of the solutions worked. I really hope you guys can help me. Thanks a ton in advance!

Exchange push notifications not working on iphone5

My work email is exchange, and it doesn't push on my new iPhone 5. I have all of the settings right for pushing. If I go to my mail, it says 'Checking Mail' and then new message show up. Any help with push notifications not working on the 5? Thank you.

This is an issue that a lot of people are having... it's all on this thread.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4345374?start=0&tstart=0
The 'fix' that is decribed in the first post does not work. The only workaround is if you are on Wi-Fi, turn off Cellular Data and then reset the push service by turning on Airplane mode for a few seconds and then turn it back off. Seems to be an issue with the iOS talking to the new LTE CDMA chip on Verizon and Sprint iPhone 5s.

Push Notifications not working on any app (Whatsapp, Beejive, Mail) after update 5.1.1, Help!

I'm gonna try to be clear with my problem. I have a Gmail Account working on Microsoft Exchange, for IM messaging I'm using Beejive IM with Push and I'm also using Whatsapp. Before Updating it to iOS 5.1.1 all Push notifications were working flawless, however, after I upgraded it to 5.1.1, I began having troubles. After 1 minute of having the Iphone locked, I don't get any push notification, nor on the email, nor on the Whatsapp, neither on the Beejive. If I unlock it and I re-open one of them, for ex, I go to check my contact list on Beejive, I get all the mails, and all the instant msgs that people had sent to me after I locked my iPhone; it's like, my iPhone was locked for 30 minutes. In those 30 minutes people sent me 4 msgs on whatsapp, 4 msgs on beejive and 4 mails. Once I unlock my iPhone and I go to one of the 3 apps (mail, whatsapp or beejive), I get the 12 items (4 msg from whatsapp, 4 msgs from beejive and 4 mails) at that exactly time. It's crazy, it's like, with this new update push notifications got disabled for every app or what happened to my iPhone on this upgrade? I really need help. WIthout Push, none of them apps works cool for me. I'm using Iphone 4 on a 3G network.
Ps: I tried restoring it x3, I unistalled the apps, mail, etc and nothing worked.
PS2: If someone is using whatsapp or beejive im with push on the new iOS 5.1.1 and push notifications are working good for them, please let me know it so I will know it's my iPhone hardware problem to bring it to technical service
Thanks in advance

SAME PROBLEM
The Apple store are trying to say they know nothing of this problem, they know that if you delete your yahoo mail and then add the account again then push notification works for a day. So they do that for you, but won't listen when you tell them that it won't be working by the next day! This is to get you out of the shop. They don't have an answer to why your other notifications aren't working (like alerts etc) even though you have push on.
So what are we to do? The main point for me getting an iPhone was being able to be alerted when I received an email as I am out and about all day!
How can we get somebody in Apple to admit this problem and find a resolve for it before we all have to go buy a phone that will notify you of your email, messages ans alert?

Push notification not working properly

Hi,
I have bought a factory unlocked iphone3gs 8GB on IOS 4.3.5 and found that push notifications are not working properly.
Its working for KIK messanger but not for Google+, Facebook and other news app like CNN.
I tried the reset all setting option as suggested by many people but still no luck.
Why is that the notifications work for one app and not for others? I have allowed all apps to use notification.
One weird observation is that when I try to enable push notification on NYTimes app in app settings, it automatically turns to off after 2 seconds..
Thanks
Kapil

It's Facebook, their push notifications are pretty flaky.

Push notifications not working on 4g/cellular data

i have an iphone 5s with latest ios 7.
recently the push notification stopped working under cellular data (lte most of the time, 3g other times). if i turn on wifi, push notification works fine. in fact if i turn on wifi after a few days i get al the push notification from the past few days.
i have 'background refresh' turned on for al the apps concerned but doesn't seem to have any affect.

Same thing is happening to me when using silent push notifications for my app. They do not get received on my iPhone 6 when cellular data is being used. On wifi they get through just fine. Have you had any feedback on this?

Why are AOL push notifications not working with OS 6?

After installing IOS6 I am unable to get my AOL Push notifications to work on my Iphone4 or Ipad2. I did try to delete the accounts and then installed them again. After that I re-booted each device, but no luck. Is this a problem others are having?
Thanks,
Bruce

You're welcome. The request has been sent in. I first saw your post in the Using Apple Support Communities Forum, now I see it's been moved to the iPod Forum, hopefully it will get moved again.

Push notifications not working for Facebook and Tw...

Normally if I'm using an app, or doing something else with the phone, and a pop-up notification of an SMS, email or IM appears, I simply click it an it takes me to the app/conversation. However, this is not the case for my Facebook and Twitter notifications. The notifications do pop-up, but, when I click it nothing happens. It does not take me to the app. If I click the pop-up, the notification doesn't show on the events screen, as if I clicked it before. I can click Facebook and Twitter notifications on the event screen an it takes me to the app, just not with the push/pop-up notifications. Its really annoying sometimes. Thanks in advance.

Hi arunakajacob,
Welcome to the Nokia forums.
This will most likely be a bug in the application. Delete the application and reinstall it via Nokia Store > My Stuff.
If this doesn't fix it, a reset maybe necessary should. Make sure you make a back up with Nokia Link. You can find out how to back up using Nokia link on the below link:
http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/nokia-link
Once backed up you can reset your device with instructions on the below link:
http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/n9/user-guide?ccf_name=nokia-n9/guide/GUID-6D73C105-...
Once the phone has rebooted, reconnect it to Nokia link and restore your device:
http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/nokia-link/faq#03
To check for updates please refer to the following link:
http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/n9/user-guide?ccf_name=nokia-n9/guide/GUID-1BC62312-...
Let me know if this doesn't work so that I can troubleshoot further, if necessary.

Iphone 4 push notifications not working for any app

hi, Actually I own an iPhone 4 os 4.2.1(8c148). The thing is that push notification for all the apps that support this feature is not working, I've been an iphone user for long time now, so I konw all the stuff about turning on the push notifications etc. the problem is that my phone give me the pushes like 1 hr or 2 late, or some times never , i just have to open the apps to see my new messages and stuff. Since i live in colombia I have brought the iphone to the store and they take it for like a week and then they give me the phone back saying that is ok , but it isn't. I' have reinstalled the software, I've done anything you can think of, like turning on an of push notification, put it in plane mode, restore as new, backups, and I don't know what else to do, and the thing is that in colombia they don't exchange your phone that easy as it is in the US. So please any advise? ANd I'm sorry about my English. Thank you!

Unfortunately you have already done everything we can possibly instruct you to do.. at this point the only option is getting them to exchange it its under warranty its not working you have to get a exchange

IMessage and push notifications not working after installing iOS 7!!

My iMessages and push notifications don't work after installing iOS7..!!! I can't even log in to iMessages using my Apple ID.. And every time I log into Facebook or whatsapp it keeps telling me to connect to iTunes to receive push notifications..!!
I connected to iTunes on my comp and tried resetting my phone.. Nothing works!! HELP

Its stuffed, iMessage and facetime are both sitting on "waiting for activation" so they are not working, 1 post suggested resetting the phone again setting up as a new phone and then turning iMessage and Facetime on and then restoring. After the reset iMessage and Facetime started working, I did the restore and it stopped working again. Nice waste of 2 hours.

Iphont battery meter not working/ push notifications not working/restarting over and over again.

A few weeks ago, I went on a vacation out of the country. I had my iphone 5 on airplane mode for a week. When I got back and turned it off of airplane mode, it started restarting over and over again right after being plugged into the charger. Eventually, it seems to get ahold of itself and stops turning on and off, but the phone battery meter freezes where ever it is at that point. If it has 100% battery, it says it has 100% battery until it dies. If it only has 1% battery, I'll leave it on the charger long enough to have 100%, but it will still say 1%. The battery life itself is not any different. According to the meter, my phone will stay on all day with 1%. Also, after being dead, my phone would turn on immediately after being plugged in (rather than waiting a few minutes to get enough charge as usual). I think this is because since my phone does not know how much battery it has, it thinks it has enough to turn on right away.
I visited the apple store, and they told me to restore it as a new phone. When I did this, it did not work at first. But after a day, my phone battery life meter started working normally again, and it stopped doing the turn on/turn off continuously thing. BUT imessage no longer worked. It said "waiting for activation" for two weeks. Also, push notifications no longer worked. Every time I openned an app, it would notify my that i could not have push notifications and to connect to itunes. Certain apps wouldnt work at all (snap chat, lulu). They would just give the alert about push notifications over and over again.
I wanted imessage back, so I restored my phone as new once again. This time, imessage, push notification, snapchat, ect. started working again. But, it has gone back to not knowing how much battery life it has and restarting over and over again after being turned on from a dead state. WHAT DO I DO?! I don't want to have either of these problems. It's kind of like my phone has a virus.
note: the first time i turned it on after coming back from vacation, it said "no sim card" for a few minutes.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
