Notifications not working after latest system play update

[Arend85]

I am not getting any notifications anymore on my a52s 5g, not sounds or pop-ups or anything after latest update. Anyone else?

So tired of all these constant issues after updates!

Have you looked in your permission settings to see if they are toggled off? If not there's a problem.

Its the update. All settings are as they should be. Didn't change anything. 

Not the first time this happened after an update. Last samsung phone for me.

Try these steps really quick. With the phone turned off, press + hold power and volume up buttons until the Samsung logo disappears. Using volume keys, highlight Wipe cache partition, and then power to select and confirm. Returning to the previous menu, use volume to navigate to Repair apps, and then power again to select. This will reindex all the apps on your phone.

Didn't work. Needs an update to fix this.

And you say this frequently happens after an update? Have you ever tried factory resetting on any of these occasions to see if that could permanently fix the problem?

I cleared the data of google play services and that seems to have fixed it.. for now.

This clears a lot of data and could create problems in your Google account with syncing and backups. Make sure everything is reestablished properly after doing this. The issue may return after you update.
