Not receiving notifications as normal unless they are enabled and still fail to appear.

Even if you have the application installed, you may be signed out and that’s why you’re not receiving push notifications.

2. Notifications Schedule Not Set

There are notification rules that determine whenever notifications should be sent to your phone.

3. Notifications are Disabled

You may have left the notifications disabled and that’s why you’re not receiving any.

How To Fix When myQ App Not Sending Notifications?

In the solutions below, we will mainly go through problems with the push notifications of the myQ app.

The push notifications are messages like any other you receive on your smartphone and by “pushing” them, you’re able to view the news myQ has sent you.

Here’s how to fix the push notifications on your phone and myQ app in easy steps:

Solution #1 Enable myQ Push Notifications

Yes, myQ won’t send you push notifications without actually enabling the notifications manager.

By default, the push notifications tend to be disabled and you will have to find your way through the settings and turn them on.

Here’s how to enable the myQ push notifications in easy steps:

1. On your smartphone or tablet, open the myQ application.
2. Select the three dots on the top.
3. Choose “Notifications” from the following list.
4. On the top of the screen, tap the slider to enable the notifications.
5. Navigate back to the main screen.

Note: The myQ app will use your device’s default notifications sound alert.

Solution #2 Sign In To Correct Account

Many users have either signed off the myQ app or signed in to the wrong account and that’s why they don’t receive notifications.

Your account is quite important for the notifications that you get to be displayed. When logged in to the wrong account, they won’t show up.

• To sign out of your current myQ account, go to Home > Settings > Sign Out.

• To sign in to your myQ account, write your login credentials on the login screen and press “Connect”.

Ensure that your myQ garage door opener or any other device is connected to the same account you’re currently logged in to.

To check the availability of the myQ device, go to Settings > “My Devices” in the myQ app.

Tip: If your myQ device got disconnected from the account, tap the “+” icons in the “My Devices” tab to get the device connected.

Solution #3 Connect Your Device To The Internet

The myQ app wirelessly works with the garage door opener.

If your phone isn’t connected to the internet, there is no way that you will receive any notifications for the state of the opener.

In that regard, you must connect your device to the internet.

• To connect an Android device to the internet, go to Settings > Wireless > WiFi > “Choose your network” > “Insert WiFi key” > Connect.

• To connect an iOS device to the internet, go to Settings > WiFi > “Choose your network” > “Insert the WiFi password” > Connect.

Alert: If you’re unable to connect your device to the network, try restarting the router and contact your ISP if the problem persists.

Solution #4 Add A “Past Midnight” Notifications Rule

Even if you have the notifications toggled in the myQ app, issues may still occur with receiving them.

That is due to incorrectly established notification rules that control the time of when your myQ notifications will be delivered.

You must make sure that the notifications can run past midnight to be able to receive notifications ALL of the time.

Here’s how to configure the notification rules:

1. Open the myQ app on your device.
2. Head to Settings > Notifications.
3. Go to the Rule section.
4. Tap on “Custom Rule”.
5. Tap on “Add Rule”.
6. Set the first rule to deliver notifications from “10:00 PM to 6:00 AM”.
7. Make sure to have one more rule from “6 AM to 10 PM”.
8. That will cover the entire day.

Notice: With that configuration, your first rule is responsible for delivering notifications during the day (by default) and the second one past midnight.

Solution #6 Reinstall The myQ App

To solve any notifications bugs and glitches, it’s best to reinstall the myQ app.

As a result, all of its logs and app data will be cleared and there is no use to bother separately with these settings.

Alert: Keep in mind that reinstalling the myQ app will cause you to sign out of the application and disable the push notifications.

Here’s how to reinstall the myQ app in easy steps on any mobile device you have:

1. On your device, go to Settings.
2. Access the storage unit.
3. Go to the app section, where the myQ app is located.
