Windows 10: Notifications not showing up for WhatsApp desktop app

Alright, so I recently downloaded Whatsapp Desktop from the Microsoft store, for the purpose of being able to see my message notifications on my laptop too.

What I noticed, was that I wasn't getting any notifications at all. I checked the settings within the app, and notifications were enabled. I figured I would have to go to the Windows Settings itself, so I did.


This is where I went.
Settings > System > Notifications & actions

My "Get notifications from apps and other senders" is enabled.
I scroll down, and I don't see the Whatsapp Desktop app.
Without being able to see it in the list, I can't enable the notifications. What should I do?

Apps not showing in my Notification configuration

Apps such as Facebook, twitter, spotify, skype do not show listed in the configurations/notifications menu and therefor I'm not able to modify the way these apps notify. I 've checked with other Lumia phones running the same OS as mine (Lumia denim) and
all of their apps are listed under this menu.

(I'm reffering to the menu found in configuration/notifications)

The only downloaded app that seem to have been updated in my apps notifications list is whatsapp.

Thanks

 

Windows 10 Facebook and Messenger app not showing notifications

We appreciate you for providing the information to us.

If the Messenger app doesn't show on the list under Notifications & Actions, it's possible that there are too many apps that are using the push notification. There is a limit to the number of apps you have installed that has push notifications enabled. You
may consider removing other apps that are not in use and check if it helps.

In addition, you can also try to check the Default App for Protocol to prioritize Messenger as the default. To do this, follow the steps listed below:

• Type Default app settings in the Search bar.
• Click Choose default apps by protocol.
• Look for the Messenger app then click on it.
• Restart PC and check if it works.
  

Let us know how it goes after performing the suggested steps.
