Iphone ringing

If I have on my Apple Watch and my iphone is nearby, my iphone does not ring. I may get a tap on my arm from my watch, but that doesn't help, as I don't know what the tap if for. I missed two calls today, when I was sitting at my desk with my watch on and phone on the desk.

Is there a setting on the watch that I can change? I have already checked the phone.

Thank you

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 15

iPhone not ringing when wearing watch I need my phone to ring when I’m wearing my watch. Right now, I get no notification on either that I’m getting a call. I just got the Apple Watch. I’m ready to send it back because this is unacceptable

IPhone won’t ring while using apple watch I came to this forum and found this answer, and completed all the steps: “Meanwhile, you can open the Watch app on your iPhone ➔ Notifications ➔ Phone : Ensure that the Mirror my iPhone is checked. Then, on your iPhone, open Settings ➔ Sounds & Haptics ➔ Ringer and Alerts : Make sure this is not set to OFF or too Low. Set Change with Buttons to OFF. Below that Make sure that there is a Ringtone selected.” Still nothing…. I’m missing calls and texts. I had taken off my Apple Watch for several months because of this, and recently wanted to start using it again, but it’s the same old problem. I can’t miss calls = I can’t use my Apple Watch. Anybody??

iPhone not ringing while WATCH is charging Lately, when i put my watch on the watch charger, all my calls still only ring on my watch. I have missed several calls because of this because my watch is usually in a different room when it's charging. I have double and triple checked my settings in the watch app and on my phone, but nothing works. Does someone know how to fix this?

If your iPhone is locked, you would only get notifications on your watch.

If your Phone is unlocked and the screen is on, the notification would appear on your iPhone.
