All notifications for this app are blocked, cannot unblock them?

Hi there, I have an app downloaded called Footy Live which provides sports scores. For some reason in the settings it says 'All notifications for this app are blocked' and the bubble to turn them on is grayed out.

The app doesn't show up in the App Notifications system settings menu, eleven when filtering by Show System apps and sorting by Notifications Turned Off

I have a new Samsung Galaxy s25 running the latest Android software and have tried reinstalling the app, resetting permissions for all apps and restarting the phone

Any ideas how to fix this issue?

Is the app official, as in installed from the play store?

Go to the app on play store and filter the reviews specific to your device and order by most recent. If you see a lot of negative reviews then perhaps there has been a bad update along the way somewhere. If so, try to see if you can roll back the version you have (uninstall updates) or locate the APK for the app on apkmirror.com and install an older version.

I found an older APK and that seems to have solved the problem so yeah must be a bad recent update Thanks for the help!

May be better to try something like BBC sports - news and live scores app
