Vinted notifications not working: fixes, and how to get alerts for new listings

Before you fix anything, know what Vinted promises to notify you about. It alerts you to some events and not to others, and that gap explains many reports of notifications not working. This guide lists the fixes from Vinted's Help Center, then the options for alerts on new listings in the US.

What Vinted notifies you about

When we checked on October 20, 2026, Vinted's Help Center page on managing notifications listed these events:

Notice what is missing: a new listing that matches a search you saved. The Help Center page on saved searches describes a counter in the search bar that shows how many items were listed since you last looked. It does not describe a push or email alert for a saved search. If you expected a ping and found a number, the app is doing what Vinted describes.

The same notifications page says in-app notifications cannot be turned off, and that you can only manage the push notifications that appear outside the app. Recent notifications stay in your inbox for up to 7 days, even if push notifications are disabled.

Fixes from Vinted's Help Center

  1. Check the push settings. Go to your profile, choose Settings, then Push notifications. The first option on the list disables all push notifications, so make sure it has not been switched on by accident.
  2. Check the daily limit. On the same screen, under Other notifications, you can set a daily limit on non-high priority notifications. A low limit can make alerts look as if they have stopped.
  3. Check email notifications. Go to Profile, Settings, then Email notifications. Turn them on if they are off, and review the daily limit there too.
  4. Look in your inbox. Recent notifications are kept there for up to 7 days.
  5. Fix the app itself. Vinted's page for an app that is not loading lists the steps it says fix most technical issues: restart your device, update the phone's operating system, update the Vinted app, reinstall it (Vinted says you won't lose information) and, as a last resort, reset your device settings. The steps we read are written for iPhone, and the page says the app needs iOS 16 or later. It is about an app that will not load, not about notifications, but these are the steps Vinted suggests first.
  6. Contact Vinted. Vinted's contact page asks you to check the relevant Help Center page first and then use the contact button. The page for an app that will not load says Vinted can help faster if you add a screenshot, your device model, your operating system version, your app version (Profile, Settings, bottom of the page) and, if an error appeared, its date and time.

Your phone also has its own notification permissions for each app. Those are set in the phone's settings and Vinted's pages that we read do not cover them, so follow your phone maker's instructions if Vinted's settings look right.

Getting alerts for new listings

Vinted's own features give you three ways to keep up with the catalog:

All of these are Vinted's own features, and none of them sends an alert when a new listing matches a search. That is the gap that alert tools fill.

Where an alert tool helps

A tool such as VTD BOT works from your criteria rather than from the members you follow. You save a search (brand, model, size, condition, price, keywords) and the radar checks vinted.com at regular intervals, then alerts you by push notification, sound or email when a listing matches. It adds an estimated market value and the real cost with the Vinted fee and shipping. VTD BOT installs on a phone from the browser, on iPhone and Android, with no app store, and once you turn on notifications you get your alerts even when it is closed.

There are two limits. The radar checks at intervals and not continuously, so an alert can arrive some time after a listing is published, and a popular item can be gone. And an alert is only as good as your criteria, so narrow searches beat broad ones. Starter includes 1 search with alerts, Plus 10 and Pro unlimited: see the pricing and the features.

VTD BOT never logs in to your Vinted account. It also cannot repair a notification problem inside your Vinted app, because those settings belong to Vinted.

A quick triage

Only Vinted can fix a fault on its own side. When the steps above do not help, the contact page is the right place to go.

Keeping alerts worth reading

Frequently asked questions

Why are my Vinted notifications not working?

Check Profile, Settings, Push notifications (the first option disables all of them) and the daily limit for non-high priority notifications, then email notifications and your inbox. If the app itself misbehaves, restart, update the app and the phone, reinstall, then contact Vinted. Source: Vinted's Help Center, checked October 20, 2026.

Why doesn't Vinted alert me about new listings from a saved search?

When we checked on October 20, 2026, Vinted's Help Center described a saved search as a counter in the search bar showing new items since you last looked, not as a push or email alert.

How do I see my saved searches on Vinted?

Tap the search bar: Vinted lists your recent searches there, and saved ones carry the Save icon. A number with a plus next to a saved search shows how many new items were listed since you last opened it, and opening it resets the counter. Source: Vinted's Help Center, checked October 28, 2026.

Can I get an alert when a new listing matches my search?

Not from Vinted's saved searches as described in its Help Center. Vinted does notify you when a followed member lists something and when a favorited item drops in price. An alert tool such as VTD BOT notifies you when a listing matches criteria you set.

How long does Vinted keep my notifications?

Vinted's Help Center says notifications are usually stored in your inbox for up to 7 days, after which they disappear automatically.

Does VTD BOT need my Vinted login?

No. VTD BOT never connects to your Vinted account, never messages sellers for you and never buys on your behalf.
