Instagram experience has been great, so far from its launch. However, one of the frustrating and the most reported issues using the app is when the Instagram notifications are not working properly. This puts an end to receiving notifications for DM, Live stream, new likes and comments, etc. If you're also experiencing this issue on your phone, here's the ultimate guide on how to fix Instagram Notifications not working.

Push Notifications Settings

Right off the bat, you need to ensure Instagram notifications are enabled on both in the app and in your phone settings. This exists to suit everyone's needs. For instance, you might enjoy receiving notifications for every post your friends make on Instagram, while I may prefer receiving nothing but notifications for my DM and comments alone. If the problem of Instagram notifications not working happens on your phone, follow the steps below to enable it from your device's settings.


Open the Settings app.

Tap on Apps & Notifications
Select Manage Apps or Apps info to view all your apps.Locate and tap Instagram.Now tap Notifications.Getting here, you'll see all your Instagram notifications arranged in categories. Go through them and enable all relevant ones according to what best suits you.

After enabling the notifications from your phone's Settings, also ensure it's enabled in the Instagram app.

Clearing storage data and cache

If you are not getting Instagram notifications, also try clearing the storage and cache data for your Instagram app. Perhaps the stored cache is corrupted or getting too much and becoming unneeded for the app to run smoothly. Here, clearing the cache and storage data could help. Here's how to do it on Android.

Open your app drawer, then locate Instagram.Long-press in the app icon to show the options. Now tap on App info.In the App info menu, click Storage & cache.Tap on Clear storage, and then, clear cache.After that, now log in to your Instagram account and check if it works.


Check Do Not Disturb


As well as enabling notifications for your Instagram app, also double-check if your device is not in Do Not Disturb (DND) mode. While DND mode is on, it cuts off all notification channels and keeps them silent and invisible in the notification panel, and then bring them back when it's turned off.
