Apple Watch & iPhone

My iPhone does not ring anymore or let me know when I have a call or text, now that I have an Apple Watch.

This is not a problem when I am wearing the watch, however when not wearing it, and just using the iPhone I am missing calls.

How can I correct this?

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Did you check to see if the Mute switch is turned on for the iPhone? How to put your iPhone on vibrate, ring, or silent mode - Apple Support


If you are unable to receive any notifications on your iPhone when not wearing the Watch, I would suggest creating a current backup of the iPhone and then restoring the iPhone to that backup and test.
