Apple watch silencing iphone notifications.

When I am wearing my watch, all notifications on my phone are silenced, and instead they go to my wrist. Is there any way to get it back to how it used to be? I rely on the notification sounds from my phone really heavily.

Notifications When wearing an Apple Watch, all the notifications go to the watch and none are heard on the phone. Is there any way to get notifications on both? The only way I found to do that is to disable "wrist detection" on the watch but then some health apps won't work.

Why are my text notifications only going to my Apple Watch? I have today got my first Iwatch a series 10 and have been setting it up but when the phone (a 15) is locked text/whats app notifications are only coming through to my watch and not the phone, how can I change this? I can’t find it in the user manual. Can I have the phone on sound and the watch vibrate? The watch isn’t giving the different tones/sounds allocated as on my phone to indicate where the notification is from. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

For as far as I know this is not possible, the notifications will sound and appear on your watch if you have the setting notifications mirror iPhone enabled
