What have you tried?

Did this work before and suddenly stop working?

Do you have any other categories that work?

I asked Google and got this reply.

If you're not receiving Google notifications for movie recommendations, you can try troubleshooting the settings within the Google app or your device's overall notification settings. Here's a comprehensive guide:
1. Check Google app notification settings

• Open the Google app on your device.
• Tap on your profile picture or initial at the top right.
• Go to Settings and then Notifications.
• Look for a section related to Categories or specific topics like Movies or Entertainment.
• Make sure the toggle for movie-related notifications is turned on.
• You may also find options to manage individual notification channels within the Google app's settings.

2. Check Android device notification settings

• Go to your device's Settings app.
• Tap on Notifications or Apps & notifications.
• Locate the Google app in the list of applications.
• Tap on the Google app and make sure notifications are allowed.
• You might find further options to manage specific notification categories or channels for the Google app within these settings.

3. Check for specific topic notifications

• Within the Google app, you can search for topics that interest you (like specific movies or genres).
• On the search results page, tap Get Notified (or the bell icon if it appears) next to the topic name to enable notifications for that specific topic.

4. Ensure web & app activity is enabled

• For personalized recommendations, it's essential to have Web & App Activity turned on in your Google Account settings.
• To check this, go to your Google Account settings via the Google app or through your browser, navigate to Data & privacy, and then Web & App Activity.
• Ensure that Web & App Activity is enabled for better recommendations.

5. Other troubleshooting tips

• Restart your device: This can sometimes resolve temporary glitches.
• Clear app cache and data: Go to your device's settings, locate the Google app, and then Storage. Try clearing the cache first, then clear the data if clearing the cache doesn't solve the issue.
• Update the Google app: Ensure you're running the latest version of the Google app from the Play Store or App Store.
• Check Do Not Disturb or Focus Mode settings: Make sure these features aren't blocking notifications from the Google app.
• Check battery optimization settings: On some Android devices, aggressive battery optimization can restrict background activity and prevent apps from sending notifications. You may need to disable battery optimization for the Google app.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue preventing you from receiving movie recommendation notifications from Google.
