iPhone Email Notifications FAQ

Q.1 Why am I not getting email notifications on my iPhone even though they are turned on? Ans If notifications are enabled but you are still not receiving alerts it is usually because your email account is set to Fetch instead of Push. Go to Settings then Mail then Accounts then Fetch New Data and make sure Push is toggled on at the top. Then tap your email account and select Push if it is available. Gmail and some other providers do not support Push on iPhone so you will need to set Fetch to every 15 minutes for the closest experience to real-time alerts. Also check that your iPhone is not in Focus mode or Do Not Disturb because these silently block notifications even when everything else is configured correctly.
