Notifications aren't showing up on your iPhone
Notifications are blocked because either Do Not Disturb is on, or the app doesn't have permission to send notifications. Check Control Center for Do Not Disturb first. If it's on, tap it to turn it off. Then go to Settings → Notifications and check that the app has notifications allowed.
Your iPhone has multiple places where notifications can get blocked. Do Not Disturb silences everything. Focus modes can block notifications from certain apps. And individual apps need permission in Settings to send notifications at all.
- ✓Check that Do Not Disturb is currently off - swipe down from the top right to see Control Center
- ✓Check that you're not in a Focus mode - if one is active, you'll see its name at the top of Control Center
- ✓Have the app name ready that you need notifications from
- ✓Stay near your phone while testing to see notifications come through
