Notifications are incredibly unreliable.

binarycat
I was wondering why someone wasn't messaging me back, only later to check, like 5 days later and they did! The thing is, it's not just that I didn't get a notification, but it also didn't show up as a new message (i.e. no red dot on the friends list). Add to this the fact that there is NO way to manually refresh on mobile, and it's a toasup whether you know you get a new message. I haven't had this problem with other messaging services, so I don't know why discord has this problem. OS: Android 10

    Hey Binary

     

    Dunno if you haven't checked already, but there are 3 ways how notifications may not have been processing in Android, and I'm sure you've done the following but hope to reiterate:

    1. Check your Android OS wide notifications (Settings > Notifications)
    2. Check your Android OS application specific settings (Settings > Apps and notifications > Discord)
    3. Check your Discord App settings for yourself (left menu > select your icon > [app settings] Notifications)
    4. Check your Discord App channel specific settings (join your server > left menu > click the server > [settings] overview

    Hope this helps. I know Android OS also bugs out sometimes, try the following if it doesn't work:

    1. uninstall Discord app
    2. Go to your phone settings
    3. Select Storage > other apps > Discord
    4. Tap "Clear cache" to remove all instances and preferences.
    5. Reinstall discord

     

    Cheers
