If you’re not receiving Mobile Notifications or experiencing issues linking your device, this guide will help you quickly resolve common issues.
Q. I cannot see the Mobile Notifications option in BlueStacks settings. What do I do?
A. If you don’t see the Mobile Notifications option, ensure you’re using the latest version of the BlueStacks App Player.
- Go to Settings → About → Check for Updates.
- Install the latest build and restart the App Player.
- Check again if the Mobile Notifications option appears in BlueStacks settings.
Q. My mobile device is not appearing under “Linked Devices.” What do I do?
A. If your phone isn’t showing up:
- Confirm you’re logged in with the same BlueStacks account on both the App Player and Mobile App.
- Check your internet connection on both devices.
- Make sure notifications are enabled for the BlueStacks Mobile App in your phone’s system settings.
- If it still doesn’t appear, sign out and log back in on both devices.
Q. Why am I not getting notifications on my phone?
A. If notifications aren’t delivered:

Q. My notifications stopped working suddenly. What should I do?
A. If notifications were working earlier but have stopped:
- Check that your device hasn’t been disconnected from the App Player.
- Ensure your desktop/laptop isn’t in sleep mode, as notifications pause when the App Player is inactive.
- Log out and back in on both the App Player and Mobile App to refresh the connection.
Q. Why do I receive my notifications after some time?
A. If your notifications arrive late:
- Ensure both devices have strong network connectivity.
