I got a Pixel 3a on Friday as ben having this issue with WhatsApp and Instagram since. Thought it was due to me not configuring the setting correctly and been trying multiple adjustments and changes:
- Tried restarting the kit
- It's on the latest firmware
- Not set to Do Not Disturb
- Notification option is ticked correctly
- Turned off battery optimization
- Background data is on
- Tried updated the apps
- Tried on different WiFi connections and mobile data
But still no joy.
People sending me messages on WhatsApp for example, state it shows as only one tick until they see I'm online and actually look at the message. Seems like the apps aren't trying to receive the data til they are opened.
Weird.
Its almost like unless I've unlock my phone and gone into these apps, I then am notified of all my messages.
Now as well as the notification of a WhatsApp message at the top of the screen, I now get a pop-up box in the middle asking me if I want to view or close the app.
Not sure what else to try. I haven't rooted or installed anything extra onto the device.
Also suddently the temperate has appeared next to the date on the home screen and can't see anywhere in the options to remove it. I haven't added or adjusted any widgets:
Anyone know how to remove the temperature section next to the date?
