Let’s dive into each solution in detail.

Restart Device

Sometimes, a simple restart can fix underlying issues that may be causing the Time To BeReal notification not to appear. Restarting your device clears temporary data and refreshes system processes, which can help resolve notification-related problems. Here’s how to do it:

1. On your iPhone or Android device, press and hold the power button.
2. When the power options menu appears, select “Restart” or “Reboot.”
3. Wait for your device to shut down and turn back on.
4. After the restart, check if the Time To BeReal notification is now showing up.

Toggle BeReal Notifications

Disabling and re-enabling the notification settings for the BeReal app can refresh the notification system and potentially resolve the issue. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Go to your device’s Settings menu.
2. Navigate to Apps > See All Apps and select BeReal.
3. In the BeReal app settings, find the Notifications section.
4. Disable the toggle next to All BeReal Notifications.
5. Wait for a few minutes and then re-enable the toggle.
6. Check if the Time To BeReal notification starts appearing after toggling the notifications.

Disable Do Not Disturb

If you have enabled the Do Not Disturb mode on your device, it may be blocking the Time To BeReal notification. Disabling Do Not Disturb or adding BeReal to the exception list can help ensure that you receive notifications from the app. Here’s how to do it:

1. Open your device’s Settings menu.
2. Navigate to Notifications > Do Not Disturb.
3. Tap on Turn Off Now to disable Do Not Disturb.

5. Enable the toggle next to BeReal to receive notifications from the app even when in Do Not Disturb mode.
6. Check if the Time To BeReal notification appears now.

Enable Background Data for BeReal

Some apps require background data access to send notifications while running in the background. If BeReal doesn’t have permission to use background data, it may not be able to display notifications. Follow these steps to enable background data for BeReal:

1. Open your device’s Settings menu.
2. Select BeReal from the list of installed apps.
3. Look for the Background Data option in the Mobile Data & WiFi section.

Remove Battery Restrictions for BeReal

Some battery-saving measures implemented on your device can restrict app functionality, including background syncing and notification delivery. By removing these restrictions for BeReal, you can ensure that the app can send notifications properly. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open the Settings menu on your device.
2. Navigate to Battery > Battery Saver.
3. Disable the toggle next to Use Battery Saver if it is enabled.
4. Go back to Settings > Apps > See All Apps.
5. Find BeReal in the list and tap on it.
6. Click on the Battery tab.
7. Select Unrestricted to remove battery restrictions for BeReal.
8. Check if the Time To BeReal notification is now visible.

Disable Adaptive Battery

Adaptive Battery is a feature that prioritizes battery usage for apps based on your interaction patterns. However, it may also disable background functions and sync features for apps with low interaction. Disabling Adaptive Battery can help ensure that BeReal receives the necessary resources to send notifications. Here’s how to disable it:

Open your device’s settings.

Go to Battery > Adaptive Preferences.

Disable the toggle for Adaptive Battery.

Check if the Time To BeReal notification appears after disabling Adaptive Battery.

Delete BeReal Data

Accumulated temporary data or corrupted app data can cause performance issues and prevent notifications from being displayed. Clearing the data for BeReal and starting fresh may resolve the problem. Here’s how to do it:

Open the Settings menu on your device.

Find BeReal in the list of installed apps under Apps > See All Apps.

Go to the Storage and Cache section.

Click on Clear Data or Clear Storage.

Confirm the action when prompted.

Check if the Time To BeReal notification starts showing up after clearing the app data.

Force Stop BeReal

Force-stopping the BeReal app can help resolve issues with its processes and services. After force-stopping the app, restarting it will allow it to run in a fresh state, which may resolve the notification problem. Follow these steps to force stop BeReal:

Open your device’s Settings menu.

Go to Apps > See All Apps.

Find BeReal in the list and select it.

Tap on Force Stop in the confirmation dialog box.

Restart the app and check if the Time To BeReal notification appears now.
