We want to note that the described below recommendations can fit not only Skype. Whatever the application stopped to show pop-up notifications — our tips will help to cope with the problem in almost all cases.
Check whether notifications feature is switched on
First we need to understand — why we criticize developers? The cause of the problem in many cases is to enable Skype push-notifications on your mobile device. Make sure that the reason is not in simply banal settings:
