# 🟠 GET /notifications/:id only returns user's most-recent notification — all others return 404 erroneously
**Severity:** major
**Domain:** Notification
**Labels:** bug, backend, major, broken-feature
## Description
The backend getNotificationById controller calls getUserNotifications(userId, 1, 1) — fetching page 1 with limit 1 — then does an in-memory _id string match. Any notification that is not the single most-recent record for that user always returns 404, regardless of ownership.
## Current Behavior
GET /notifications/:id returns 404 for all notifications except the user's most recently created one.
## Expected Behavior
getNotificationById should perform a direct MongoDB query by _id and userId: Notification.findOne({_id, userId}).
## Affected Files
- `backend/src/controllers/notificationController.ts`
