As the thread title asks - how do I enable notifications for the Apple Store app (NOT the APP Store, the APPLE Store). I have a courier delivery arriving soon and noticed I hadn't got any notifications from the app to let me know the driver was en route. So I opened the Apple Store app to discover it is indeed "out for delivery" yet I was not notified.

Under Settings > Notifications, the Apple Store does not appear.

What gives?

"Apple Store" should appear between these two apps, but it's not there
 
Delete and re-install app?

Also might check under Wallet's Orders button/tab: might be "hiding" information there.

(I haven't ordered anything from Apple Store in quiet a while, let alone delivered, so YMMV, it's a WAG; see the Notifications settings for Store on my phone, 18.2.1)

The app doesn't have notification settings, only Background app refresh, that should be enabled by default.

Or it does have them. Like I said, no harm in uninstall/reinstall: might reset things, otherwise back to where OP started.

Or: some weird AI-related problem? No AI on my phone.

Well not long after I posted this, I started getting notifications about the order in Messages lol. Not sure why they do it that way, but I guess as long as they notify me somehow it's no big deal.
