I'm no longer receiving pings / alerts (I don't mean emails) to my phone when I send or receive payments.
I used to get an alert every time I sent or received money, then an email later. I'm still getting the emails but the alerts have stopped.
I've cleared the cache, cleared the data, notifications are switched on.
I made no changes to the phone or account but they just randomly stopped.
Any help really appreciated please.
