How to Fix OnePlus 13 Lock Screen Notifications Not Showing

Lock screen notifications let you see messages, alerts, and updates without unlocking your phone. If your OnePlus 13 isn’t showing them, it can make you miss important information or slow you down when checking updates.

This issue usually comes from notification permissions, system restrictions, or power optimization settings. Thankfully, it’s easy to fix once you check the right options.

Why Your OnePlus 13 Lock Screen Notifications Might Not Be Showing

• Notifications are disabled for specific apps.
• Lock screen notifications are turned off in system settings.
• Battery optimization is restricting background notifications.
• Do Not Disturb mode is active.
• A recent update changed notification behavior.

Enable Lock Screen Notifications.

Lock screen notifications may have been turned off accidentally. Turning them back on allows notifications to appear when your screen is locked.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Notifications.
2. Tap Lock screen notifications, and then choose Show all notification content.

If you prefer more privacy, you can select Show sensitive content only when unlocked.

Check App Notification Permissions.

If certain apps aren’t showing notifications, they might have restricted permissions. Enabling notifications for those apps ensures they appear on the lock screen.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Apps and notifications.
2. Tap See all apps, choose the app you want, and then tap Notifications.

Toggle on Allow notifications and make sure Lock screen notifications is also turned on.

Turn Off Do Not Disturb.

Do Not Disturb blocks notifications from appearing or sounding while active. Disabling it lets your lock screen show alerts again.

1. Swipe down from the top of the screen to open Quick Settings.
2. Tap the Do Not Disturb icon to turn it off.

You can also open Settings, tap Notifications, and then tap Do Not Disturb to customize its behavior.

Adjust Battery Optimization Settings.

Battery Saver can restrict background activity, which may delay or block notifications entirely.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Battery.
2. Tap Battery optimization, select the affected app, and then choose Don’t optimize.

This ensures notifications are delivered promptly, even when the screen is off.

Check System Updates.

Software glitches or outdated builds can interfere with notifications. Updating your OnePlus 13 ensures bug fixes and smoother performance.

1. Open Settings, and then tap System.
2. Tap System update, and then tap Check for updates.

If an update is available, download and install it, then restart your phone.

When lock screen notifications stop working, the issue is usually tied to permissions or power restrictions. Once you adjust those settings, your OnePlus 13 will display alerts normally again.
