Push notifications from ABB App failed

Hi anyone else have a problem with push notifications from air bnb failing?

 

I didn't see a booking request for 12 hours! Because no notifications showed up on my phone or tablet and I was busy with another guest at the time so I didn't go looking at my email otherwise. But if I see seen airbnb notification come up on my phone I will go and look at it.

 

But nothing. First I knew was when I received a text message from airbnb next morning. 

Wondered if anyone else has had this problem?

 

Never been an issue before. But I nearlylost this booking. And we did have some communication problems around the check in arrangements following the late booking. This could have a knock on effect to reviews later.

 

I've checked my notification settings and they are all on. 

 

Anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?

Apparently this has been a problem since 2016. Here's a thread about it: https://community.withairbnb.com/t5/Help/SMS-Notifications-not-working/m-p/213217

 

When I first started using Airbnb years ago, I got all my notifications.  Then one day it stopped sending me notifications for new bookings.  I had to stop allowing same day bookings, I turned off instant book and I constantly check my email for new requests.
