Telegram Notifications Not Working in 2026 – Complete Fix Guide
Many Telegram users in 2026 are facing notification problems such as delayed alerts, missing messages, muted channels, or notifications not appearing at all. These issues can seriously affect Telegram channel owners, communities, businesses, and users who rely on Telegram daily.
In most cases, Telegram notification problems are caused by battery optimization settings, outdated app versions, aggressive background restrictions, or Telegram server synchronization delays.
Common Telegram Notification Problems
Telegram messages arrive late
Notifications do not appear on lock screen
Telegram channels stay silent
Telegram calls are missed
Background sync stops working
Notifications disappear after updates
These problems are especially common on some Android devices with aggressive battery-saving systems.
How to Fix Telegram Notifications
1. Disable Battery Optimization
Many Android phones automatically limit Telegram in the background. Disable battery optimization for Telegram inside device settings.
For example:
- Samsung: Settings → Apps → Telegram → Battery → Unrestricted
- Xiaomi: Security → Manage apps → Telegram → Battery saver → No restrictions
- Google Pixel: Settings → Apps → Telegram → App battery usage → Unrestricted
2. Enable Background Activity
Allow Telegram to run in the background without restrictions.
3. Update Telegram
Always use the latest Telegram version to avoid compatibility and server-sync problems.
4. Check Notification Permissions
Make sure Telegram has permission for:
Notifications
Background data
Pop-up alerts
Lock screen access
5. Reinstall Telegram
If nothing works, reinstalling Telegram often fixes corrupted cache or sync issues.
