Emergency Bypass Notifications on Apple Watch and Iphone

I have emergency bypass active for a contact on my iPhone but when wearing my Apple Watch (Series 7) I do not get an audible or haptic notification on my iPhone. The notification does appear on my Apple Watch but this is not noticeable enough to wake me up if I am sleeping.


I would like the emergency bypass notification to appear on my iPhone and trigger the audio/haptic setup and send a notification to my Apple Watch while maintaining wrist detection for my Apple Watch, is this possible?

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 8

Thanks, I have read the article but that doesn’t really answer why the emergency bypass isn’t activating.


Is there a way to ensure the emergency bypass will still make a noise and haptic if my Apple Watch has wrist detection on?
