如果您在 iPhone 上安装了 YouTube，当您喜爱的 YouTube 频道(favorite YouTube channel)发布新内容时，您会收到通知。YouTube还将通过该应用程序发送个性化的视频推荐、帐户活动和产品更新。您可以使用本指南中的解决方案来检测和修复YouTube通知何时无法在您的 iPhone 上运行。
YouTube 相关问题(YouTube-related issues)可能非常棘手，但并非不可能解决。有三个主要因素会阻止YouTube向您的 iPhone 发送通知：您的帐户设置、设备设置和频道设置。
我们将向您展示如何配置这些设置以在您的 iPhone 上实现最佳的YouTube通知传送。但在此之前，请确保您已在YouTube应用上登录您的Google帐户。同样(Likewise)，确保禁用请勿打扰(Do Not Disturb)。
注意：(Note:)以下解决方案也可用于修复iPad 上的YouTube通知问题。(YouTube)
1. 检查 iPhone通知设置(Notification Settings)
首先，您需要确保在系统级别正确配置了YouTube通知设置。(YouTube)转到设置(Settings )> YouTube >通知( Notifications)并确保启用通知(Allow Notifications)。
如果该选项已启用，请将其关闭并重新打开。这可能有助于重新启动 YouTube 的正常通知。此外，请确保检查警报(Alerts)部分中的所有通知选项（锁定屏幕(Lock Screen)、通知中心(Notification Center)和横幅(Banners)），并打开声音(Sounds)和徽章(Badges)。
您还可以从该应用启用YouTube通知。启动YouTube并点击主屏幕上的通知铃图标。(Notification bell icon)
点击打开通知(Turn On Notifications)按钮以在您的 iPhone 上启用YouTube通知。(YouTube)
2. 检查YouTube 应用内通知设置(YouTube In-App Notification Settings)
YouTube允许您为个别活动自定义推送通知——视频推荐、订阅亮点、提及等。如果您没有收到某些活动的通知，请前往YouTube的设置并查看您的通知偏好。
1. 启动 YouTube 并点击应用右上角的个人资料图标。(profile icon)
2. 选择设置(Settings)。
3. 滚动到菜单底部并点击通知(Notifications)。
4. 浏览列表并打开您想要接收的通知。
如果您未收到的通知已启用，请将其关闭并重新打开。
此外，请确保关闭读取禁用声音和振动(Disable sounds and vibrations)的选项。
如果启用，YouTube将不会在一天中的特定时段（通常是每天 22:00 到 8:00）向您发送通知。
3.查看频道通知设置(Review Channel Notification Settings)
如果您没有收到来自您订阅的频道的视频上传或直播提醒，请访问您的帐户设置并检查是否为该频道启用了提醒。
1. 点击右上角的个人资料图标并导航至设置(Settings )>通知( Notifications )>频道设置( Channel settings)。
2.您会找到您订阅的频道列表；点击管理(Manage)以显示他们的通知状态。
如果受影响频道旁边的铃铛图标被划掉，您将不会收到有关频道活动的通知。
3. 点击铃铛图标并选择全部(All)或个性化(Personalized)。
- 个性化(Personalized)通知意味着您将收到有关某些视频上传、直播和其他活动的通知。YouTube只会偶尔发送频道活动的精彩片段。这些精彩片段由YouTube算法根据某些视频的受欢迎程度、您在频道上观看视频的频率、与频道的互动等因素自动生成。
- 您可以猜到，所有(All)通知意味着您将收到有关频道所有活动的通知——内容上传、直播等。
注意：(Note:)如果频道旁边的铃铛图标显示为灰色，这很可能是因为该频道制作了“面向(Made)儿童”的内容。您无法为观众为儿童的频道启用通知。通知提醒默认设置为“无通知(No notifications)”，您无法更改。
4. 点击完成(Finished)保存频道通知设置。
4. 关闭 YouTube 隐身模式
YouTube 具有隐身模式，可让您(incognito mode that lets you watch videos privately)在 iPhone 上私下观看视频。在隐身模式下，YouTube不会将您的观看记录、搜索、订阅等内容保存到您的帐户中。事实上，YouTube应用就像您已退出帐户一样。隐身(Incognito)模式还可能会暂停您的某些帐户设置，例如频道和视频通知。
忘记停用隐身模式可能就是您收不到YouTube通知的原因。尽管YouTube会在 90 分钟不活动后自动禁用隐身模式，但在这 90 分钟的时间段内，您可能不会收到通知。
如果YouTube应用的右上角有一个面具图标(mask icon)，则表示隐身模式处于活动状态。
点击面具图标，然后点击关闭隐身模式(Turn off Incognito)。
5. 更新 YouTube 应用
如果应用程序包含一些软件错误或错误， YouTube(YouTube)可能无法发送通知。YouTube偶尔会推出更新来修复这些错误并提高应用程序的性能。前往App Store（或单击此链接(click this link)）查看是否有适用于YouTube的更新。
更新 YouTube(Update YouTube)并检查是否可以解决通知问题。如果问题仍然存在，请重新启动 iPhone 并重试。
6.更新iOS
主要的 iOS 更新，尤其是最早的版本，并不总是稳定的。它们有时会附带影响应用程序通知、消息传递等设备功能的错误。好消息是，这些问题不会持续很长时间，因为Apple在随后的 iOS 单点版本中推出了错误修复。
如果所有故障排除方法都没有产生积极的结果并且YouTube通知仍然无法正常工作，我们建议您更新您的 iPhone（或 iPad）。转到设置(Settings)>常规(General )>软件更新( Software Update)，然后单击下载并安装(Download and Install)以更新您的设备。
不错过任何更新
我们重点介绍了 iPhone上 YouTube(YouTube)通知问题的常见原因及其解决方案。至少上面列出的一项建议应将YouTube的通知恢复到 iPhone 或 iPad 上的正常状态。如果问题仍然存在，请卸载YouTube并从 App Store 重新下载该应用程序(re-download the app from the App Store)。
YouTube Notifications Not Working on iPhone? 6 Ways to Fix
If yоu have YouTube іnstalled on your iPhone, yоu’ll get notified when your favorite YouTube channel posts new content. YouTube will also send personalized video recommendations, account activities, and product updates through the app. You can use the solutions in this guide to detect and fix when YouTube notifications are not working on your iPhone.
YouTube-related issues can be quite tricky, but they aren’t impossible to fix. There are three major factors that can prevent YouTube from delivering notifications to your iPhone: your account settings, device settings, and channel settings.
We’ll show you how to configure these settings for optimal YouTube notification delivery on your iPhone. But before anything, make sure you’re signed in to your Google account on the YouTube app. Likewise, ensure that Do Not Disturb is disabled.
Note: The solutions below can also be applied to fix YouTube notifications issues on an iPad.
1. Check iPhone Notification Settings
First, you need to make sure YouTube notification settings are properly configured at the system-level. Go to Settings > YouTube > Notifications and ensure Allow Notifications is toggled on.
If the option is already enabled, turn it off and toggle it back on. That could help reinitiate YouTube’s notification to normalcy. Additionally, ensure you check all the notification options (Lock Screen, Notification Center, and Banners) in the Alerts section and also toggle on Sounds and Badges.
You can also enable YouTube notifications from the app. Launch YouTube and tap the Notification bell icon on the home screen.
Tap the Turn On Notifications button to enable YouTube notification on your iPhone.
2. Check the YouTube In-App Notification Settings
YouTube lets you customize push notifications for individual activities—video recommendations, subscription highlights, mentions, etc. If you aren’t receiving notifications for certain activities, head to YouTube’s settings and review your notification preferences.
1. Launch YouTube and tap the profile icon at the top-right corner of the app.
2. Select Settings.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the menu and tap Notifications.
4. Go through the list and toggle on the notifications you want to receive.
If a notification you weren’t receiving was already enabled, turn it off and toggle it back on.
Additionally, make sure you toggle off the option that reads Disable sounds and vibrations.
If enabled, YouTube won’t send you notifications during specific periods of the day—usually between 22:00 and 8:00 every day.
3. Review Channel Notification Settings
If you don’t receive video upload or live stream alerts from a channel you’re subscribed to, visit your account settings and check if alerts are enabled for that channel.
1. Tap the profile icon at the top-corner and navigate to Settings > Notifications > Channel settings.
2. You’ll find a list of channels you’re subscribed to; tap Manage to reveal their notification status.
If the bell icon next to the affected channel(s) is crossed out, you won’t receive notifications for the channel’s activity.
3. Tap the bell icon and select All or Personalized.
- Personalized notification means you’ll receive notifications for some video uploads, live streams, and other activities. YouTube will only send occasional highlights of the channel’s activities. These highlights are automatically generated by YouTube algorithms based on the popularity of certain videos, frequency of videos you watch on the channel, interactions with the channel, among other factors.
- All notifications, as you can guess, means you’ll receive notifications for all of the channel’s activities—content upload, live streams, etc.
Note: If the bell icon next to a channel is grayed out, that’s most likely because the channel produces “Made for Kids” content. You can’t enable notifications for channels whose audiences are kids. The notification alert is set to “No notifications” by default and you can’t change it.
4. Tap Finished to save the channel notifications settings.
4. Turn Off YouTube Incognito Mode
YouTube has an incognito mode that lets you watch videos privately on your iPhone. In incognito mode, YouTube doesn’t save your watch history, searches, subscriptions, etc. to your account. In fact, the YouTube app acts like you’re signed out of your account. Incognito mode may also suspend some of your account settings like channel and video notifications.
Forgetting to deactivate incognito mode could be just why you aren’t getting YouTube notifications. Although YouTube automatically disables incognito mode after 90 minutes of inactivity, you may not receive notifications during that 90-minute window.
If there’s a mask icon at the top-right corner of the YouTube app, that means incognito mode is active.
Tap the mask icon and tap Turn off Incognito.
5. Update the YouTube App
YouTube may fail to deliver notifications if the app contains some software bugs or errors. YouTube occasionally rolls out updates that fix these bugs and improves the app’s performance. Go to the App Store (or click this link) to check if there’s an update available for YouTube.
Update YouTube and check if that fixes the notification issue. If the problem persists, restart your iPhone and try again.
6. Update iOS
Major iOS updates, particularly the earliest versions, aren’t always stable. They sometimes ship with bugs that affect device functionalities like app notifications, messaging, etc. The good thing is that these issues don’t linger for long as Apple rolls out bug fixes in subsequent iOS point releases.
If all troubleshooting methods yield no positive result and YouTube notifications still are not working, we recommended updating your iPhone (or iPad). Go to Settings > General > Software Update and click Download and Install to update your device.
Never Miss An Update
We’ve highlighted the common causes of YouTube notification issues on iPhone as well as their solutions. At least one of the recommendations listed above should restore YouTube’s notifications back to normalcy on your iPhone or iPad. If the problem persists, uninstall YouTube and re-download the app from the App Store.
