With that said, here are the reasons why Cash App notifications won't go away.

For sure, Cash App, just like other apps we use send us notification for important updates.

However, finance apps such as Cash App usually insist on most of their notifications, especially when it's about an important activity on your account.

The notification might be about a pending payment or account security (including scam alerts and unauthorized transactions) — which are two of the most important alerts you'd want to be reported by the app.

2. Technical Glitches

Headup! A technical glitch is one of the main reasons why the Cash App notification won't go away issue persists.

Sincerely speaking, this was the cause of the issue on my side.
Cash App's Servers Are Down: Cash App relies on its secure servers to offer users the services they typically find within the app. If the servers aren't working properly, the app itself will begin to lag or misbehave and this can result in the Cash App notification won't go away issue.

If you tried taking action for a notification received from Cash App with a poor internet connection, chances for you succeeding are really small — and of course, the notification won't go away.
