Some Samsung Galaxy users are reporting that they’re not getting notifications. If your Samsung phone or tablet is having trouble with notifications, one of the reasons that you must check is the Data saver feature.
If data saver is turned on, it can significantly lower your data consumption if you rely mainly on mobile data or cellular data for internet connection. However, it can also mean that you may not receive app notifications on time or at all. Some apps may also not load properly or appear to work normally.
For example, your emails may still download but may not download photos or images without tapping them. As the name suggests, this feature lets you save on data but at the expense of convenience.
The good thing about data saver is that you can still continue using your device normally but any of your apps will not use up any data without your permission.
