What Does the Bell with a Line Through It Mean on My Phone?

You might want to check if Do Not Disturb is enabled. If it is, that could be silencing your notifications!

Good point! I’ll check that, thanks! What causes the change in notification settings anyway?

It’s often due to updates or app permissions changing. It can be confusing, but keeping an eye on your settings helps!

That’s so annoying! I wish they were more consistent with notifications.

Right? It feels like a game sometimes! I sometimes joke that apps are just out to get us. :joy:

Haha, true! But seriously, can it be fixed without a major hassle? Like resetting the whole device?

Resetting the whole device should be a last resort. Usually, you can just adjust individual app notifications in Settings!

Thanks for confirming! I appreciate it! Quick fixes are the way to go.
