Notifications of new emails are absolutely necessary in our daily lives, as they keep us alert to what is really happening around us, so, of course, we are going to need them to work correctly. It may be the case that for some time now, these notifications have stopped working, so it is absolutely necessary that they come back to life, and for this, there are various functions that we can carry out.
Among the problems that we can have with notifications, there are many that are due to forgetfulness, so the most important thing in this regard is to know where to start.
Check this first
Of course, the system is the first culprit that these notifications are not reaching us, since it can surely be due to the fact that Gmail alerts are not configured on our phone, so of course, no matter how hard we try, we won’t be able to get it.
To do this, regardless of the operating system we use, we will have to go to the settings of our phone and there, go to the ‘Notifications’ section , in which we will have to look for the Gmail app, where it should appear if the notifications are there or not. activated. Here it should appear if they are available or not. In the event that these notifications appear here as deactivated; if so, activate them and this does not happen to you again.
It may also be the case that the different concentration modes such as the ‘Do Not Disturb’ mode are activated, so you will have to make sure that these are deactivated.
The solution is in the mail
If the notifications are fully active in our phone’s system, one of the most common solutions, you can go through the Gmail app itself, which also has in its settings the possibility of configuring notifications as it suits us.
In this sense, we will have to go to our email and once there follow the following steps:
- Swipe to the right to open the dropdown and scroll down until you find ‘Settings’.
- Once there, click on ‘Notifications by Mail’ .
- Decide what type of email you want to be notified of, as well as the tone.
From now on, it has to be arriving without any kind of problem plus email notifications to our mobile phone.
In the event that you simply receive some of the email notifications you want, the problem here may be that these notifications are activated only for one type of email, since we will have several options to choose from when receiving the email we want . We can do it so that we are notified of all new emails, as well as only those that arrive in the main folder or those that are diagnosed as high priority.
A storage problem
Email, in case you didn’t know, is not unlimited at all, so everything has a cap and email was not going to be less, being in this case storage, which will tell us if there really is a problem or not.
And it is that, it may be the case in which the storage of the mobile phone has been completely filled and therefore, the emails are not entering and therefore, you know that they are arriving, but you are not notified. In this sense, the only option is to start deleting all the emails that you had so far in your inbox or at least the ones that matter least to you, so you have to take it into account. In the same way, if we have numerous files in Drive , it will be important that you also delete part of them, since they may be filling up the storage when you can even not use part of them.
Yes, it is true, that in the event that this is the case, not only will the notifications not reach us, but neither will the emails; so if we see emails entering the inbox and it is not the case with the notifications, surely the failure is not in the device’s storage, but rather something that goes beyond.
