Facebook notifications keep you updated with messages, comments, and reactions in real time. When they stop working, you might miss important updates or conversations. This problem is common and often linked to notification settings, app permissions, or battery optimizations.
If your Galaxy S25 Ultra is not showing Facebook notifications, here’s how to fix it.
Why Facebook Notifications Might Not Be Working on Your Galaxy S25 Ultra
- Facebook notifications are disabled in app settings.
- Battery optimization or Power saving mode restricts the app.
- Do Not Disturb mode is active.
- Facebook app cache or data is corrupted.
- Background data usage is limited for Facebook.
Check Notification Settings in Facebook.
Sometimes, Facebook notifications are turned off within the app itself. Enabling them ensures you receive alerts for all activities.
- Open the Facebook app, and then tap the Menu icon at the bottom or top right.
- Tap Settings & privacy, and then tap Settings.
From here, scroll down to Notifications. Tap on it, and make sure the types of alerts you want are enabled.
Allow Notifications in System Settings.
Even if notifications are turned on in the app, they won’t appear if blocked at the system level.
- Open Settings, and then tap Notifications.
- Tap App notifications, and then find and tap Facebook.
Make sure the toggle for Allow notifications is turned on.
Turn Off Do Not Disturb Mode.
Do Not Disturb mode blocks all alerts, including Facebook notifications. Disabling it ensures notifications can come through anytime.
- Open Settings, and then tap Notifications.
- Tap Do not disturb, and then turn it off.
You can also add Facebook as an exception if you prefer to keep DND on for other apps.
Remove Battery Restrictions for Facebook.
Battery optimization can prevent Facebook from sending notifications while it runs in the background.
- Open Settings, and then tap Battery.
- Tap Background usage limits, and then tap Sleeping apps.
If Facebook appears in the list, remove it. You can also tap Battery usage, and select Unrestricted for Facebook to prevent it from being paused.
Clear Facebook App Cache.
Corrupted cache files can interfere with notifications. Clearing them often resolves the issue without deleting your data.
- Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
- Find and tap Facebook, and then tap Storage.
Tap Clear cache, and then reopen the app to test if notifications are working again.
Reinstall the Facebook App.
If the issue persists, reinstalling the app refreshes its configuration and removes any corrupted files.
- Touch and hold the Facebook app icon, and then tap Uninstall.
- Go to the Google Play Store, search for Facebook, and install it again.
After reinstalling, log in and enable notifications when prompted.
Getting Facebook notifications back on your Galaxy S25 Ultra is usually a matter of adjusting permissions or settings. Once configured correctly, you’ll start receiving alerts for posts, comments, and messages in real time again.
FAQs
Why am I only getting Facebook notifications when I open the app?
This usually means background activity is restricted. Allow unrestricted battery usage for Facebook in Settings to fix it.
Can Power Saving mode affect Facebook notifications?
Yes. Power Saving mode limits background data and activity, which can delay or stop notifications. Turn it off for consistent alerts.
Do I need to reinstall Facebook to fix notifications?
Not always. Try clearing cache and checking notification permissions first. Reinstall only if those steps don’t work.
