Does background app refresh affect push notifications?
On Android 12, tap the Restricted option here. Unlike the iPhone's background app refresh feature, this does affect notifications. Thus, you should only restrict battery usage for apps if you don't need real-time alerts from them.
Does background app refresh need to be on to get notifications?
It will have no effect on notifications. Background app refresh only updates the content on those apps more frequently, so that next time you launch an app, it will already be updated and refreshed instead of waiting until you launch the app to refresh its content.
Why am I not getting push notifications on my new iPhone?
You can fix an iPhone that's not getting notifications by restarting it or making sure notifications are turned on. You should also make sure your iPhone is connected to the internet so apps can receive notifications. If all else fails, you should try resetting the iPhone — just make sure to back it up first.
