Original story (published on April 18, 2022) follows:

Cash App is a popular mobile banking and finance service that makes it easy to send, receive and save money between users.

The Cash App goal is to offer instantaneous transfers and payments, while maintaining affordable commissions and more friendly conditions of use compared to traditional banking.

Cash App users should be notified at the moment they receive a payment. However, many of them have been experiencing problems with notifications (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10).

More specifically, Cash App is currently experiencing an issue where notifications are delayed by hours, or even days (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9).

Cash App delayed notifications issue

According to multiple reports, notifications for payments received through Cash App are experiencing notable delays that are causing problems for users.

The Cash App delayed notifications issue started a few days ago, and the delay from when a payment arrives until the user receives the notification can be many hours.

Delayed Notifications???

Anyone been experiencing extreme delayed notifications on cashapp? It’s been days like this so far. Customer sends a payment for a purchase and I get the notification by email like 8+hrs later. Not so convenient for my business..

Anyone have some info?

Cash app, please fix this push notification problem

Its been 3 days we are getting delayed notifications in both email and app, like 6-7 hours later. Payment already received doesn’t show up automatically, I have to refresh the screen multiple times or search manually by putting the sender’s cash tag. This is so bizzare considering Cash app is so big out there. Please fix this ASAP. This is so unacceptable.

In more serious cases, some users have been facing the notifications delay for weeks.

Meanwhile, some even report that their Cash App notifications have never worked.

Everyone’s talking about @CashApp noti delays and I’m still wondering what it sounds like when you receive a noti because I have never lol. Someday will be my time to shine.

Official acknowledgment, potential workaround

The Cash App team is already aware of the issue in question and they are looking into it. In the meantime, they recommend users close and reopen the app as a potential workaround.

Hey there – thanks for bringing this to us. We are looking into this; we recommend refreshing your app by closing and reopening it on your device, as well as ensuring that you’re connected to a strong internet signal.

Additionally, you can try to remove any battery-saving limitations that the system has placed on Cash App through your device’s OS settings.

Update 1 (April 19)

it looked like it was fixed this morning for a bit but same thing started again. I wish they could tell us something like, working on it or something, at least something. I don’t even know if they are working on it to fix it. This is beyond ridiculous. (Source)
