No longer receiving notifications for post edits in Teams channel

Microsoft’s current documentation does not list editing an existing channel post as a mobile notification trigger or provide a setting that guarantees a push preview of edited text, so the dependable workaround is to publish each morning’s staffing summary as a new channel post.

Recommended setup

1. Create a new post each morning containing the staffing summary instead of editing yesterday’s post.
2. For each team member, open the channel’s More options (…) → Manage notifications/Channel notifications.
3. Enable notifications for all new posts/messages and select Activity feed and banner. Teams documents these controls for new posts or messages, depending on the channel layout.^1^
4. Enable Show message and content previews in notifications under Settings → Notifications and activity where that option is available. This controls whether a notification includes message content, but it does not create a notification for an edit that otherwise has no documented trigger.^2^

If preserving one long-running post is essential, add a new reply containing the complete staffing summary each morning. Replies to conversations users participate in—and replies in followed threads—are documented notification triggers, although the banner will normally represent the new reply rather than refresh the original post.^3^

Following the thread therefore does not provide the specific edited-original preview you want. It is designed to surface new thread activity, and Microsoft states that Followed threads/Quick views do not themselves change which notifications are sent.^1^

Determine whether this is edit-specific

Because edit notifications previously appeared, the change could be undocumented former behavior, a client change, or a regression; the public documentation does not establish which.

Run one controlled comparison:

• Edit an existing post.
• Create a new post.
• Add a reply.
• Add an @mention.

Test with several affected accounts and record the phone platform, Teams version, and timestamp. If new posts, replies, and mentions produce mobile pushes but edits alone do not, ordinary phone notification permissions are unlikely to explain the symptom.

Have the Microsoft 365 administrator open a Microsoft support case and provide those results, especially if the behavior changed tenant-wide. Microsoft Q&A guidance recommends support escalation when mobile events are received but Teams still fails to display notifications.^4^

Conditional check for managed phones

This applies only if Teams is governed by an Intune app-protection policy and other channel notifications or their previews are also missing.

The administrator should inspect:

• Intune admin center → Apps → Protection → applicable policy → Data protection → Org data notifications
  • Allow displays title and content.
  • Block org data hides the real content.
  • Blocked suppresses notifications.
• The managed-app configuration key
  com.microsoft.teams.channel.notifications.IntuneMAMOnly
  • 1 enables channel notifications.
  • 0 disables them.^5^

An Intune change can restore generally blocked channel notifications or previews, but it does not establish edited posts as a notification trigger.
