TradingView Mobile Alerts Not Coming Through? Fix List

If alerts show in the alert log but never reach your phone, the alert is fine and the delivery is broken. Work through these in order.

1. Push is enabled on the alert itself

Open the alert, go to the notifications tab, and confirm Notify on app is ticked. Each alert has its own delivery settings, so an alert created before you installed the mobile app may have push switched off.

2. You're signed into the same account on the phone

Push goes to the account's registered devices. A different account — or a phone signed out at some point — receives nothing.

3. Notification permission is granted

iOS: Settings → Notifications → the app → Allow Notifications on, with Banners or Alerts enabled and Sounds on if you need them.

Android: Settings → Apps → the app → Notifications on, and check the individual notification categories inside.

Silent or "deliver quietly" settings are especially easy to enable by accident and produce alerts that arrive with no visible sign.

4. Focus modes and Do Not Disturb

iOS Focus modes and Android Do Not Disturb suppress notifications by default. Add the app to the allowed list of whichever mode you use during market hours, or you'll get every alert at the moment the mode ends.

5. Battery optimisation (Android especially)

Aggressive battery management stops background delivery. Settings → Apps → the app → Battery → set to Unrestricted. Some manufacturers add a second layer of their own power management; look for an auto-launch or protected-apps list.

This is the most common cause of "alerts arrive hours later, all at once".

6. Low Power Mode (iOS)

Low Power Mode restricts background activity and can delay pushes. If alerts work when charging and not otherwise, this is why.

7. The alert expired

Alerts have expiry dates. An expired alert sits in the list looking normal and fires nothing. Check the expiry and extend it, or set it not to expire if your plan allows.

8. You've hit your alert limit

Each plan includes a fixed number of active alerts. Past the limit new alerts silently fail to activate. Delete the ones you no longer use.

9. App version and reinstall

Update the app. If everything above is correct, sign out, reinstall, and sign back in — this re-registers the device for push, which occasionally breaks after an OS update.

A reliable test

Create an alert on a condition certain to fire within a minute — price crossing just above the current price on a liquid symbol — with only app push enabled. Lock the phone and wait.

That single test tells you which half of the problem you have, which saves working through the whole list.
