We usually tend to rely on notification alerts to check important updates. However, sometimes you realize you’ve missed out on notifications only when you open the Twitter app.

There can be minor causes like an unstable internet connection to the issues like Twitter Server down on why you are not receiving notifications. Sometimes, forgetting to disable the mute notification will block you from getting it.

But, you don’t have to worry because the issues are solvable. You can turn on app notifications or activate ringer mode to fix it. Likewise, you can also clear the Twitter cache data or report an issue to Twitter.

So, learn how to solve Twitter notifications not working from this article.

Why Is My Twitter Notification Not Working

There can be many reasons why your Twitter notifications are not working. One of the most likely causes can be when your device is on Silent mode or Do Not Disturb Mode. Likewise, if you are not receiving notifications for certain features only, your push notification might be off. So, find out other various reasons below.

  • Unstable Internet Connection: The most common cause for your Twitter notifications not working is your unstable internet connection. It will take time to load your notifications.
  • Push Notification is off: You might not get Twitter notifications if your push notification is turned off. Enabling this feature will block all your notifications. However, although your push notification is on and still not working for certain features, it might have been disabled—for instance, news from Twitter or direct messages. 
  • Do Not Disturb Mode is on: If you activate Do Not Disturb Mode, it will mute all your notifications. So, you will not get a notification alert from Twitter.
  • Silence mode is on: Your phone being in silence mode is another instance of why you won’t receive Twitter notifications. You might’ve missed turning it on ringer mode. 
  • Twitter Server Down: If Twitter is under maintenance or the server is overloaded, its server can be down. So, your notifications might not work.
  • Shadowbanned account: Sometimes, you might not receive notifications from certain users. It could be when Twitter shadowbans some accounts. Shadowbanning will hide your posts from the public, thus blocking notifications for 2-3 days. 
  • How to Fix if Twitter Notification is Not Working
