iPhone + Watch + iOS 15 notifications

Good morning

I have a problem with sound notifications and vibrations, but only when phone is connected to AppleWatch. When the phone is connected to the watch, it only signals the voice connections. The watch signals everything according to its settings. When the watch is disconnected, the phone signals everything correctly.

how to fix it?

regards

iPhone 12

Receiving notifications on Apple Watch but not iPhone Hello - I’ve read several threads that ask this question, but I haven’t been satisfied with the answer and am certain there is a solution to my problem. Prior to Dec 31st, 2022, I had the iPhone 11, paired with Apple Watch 7 series. At that time, I was able to get notifications on the watch with a vibration AND sound of notifications to my iPhone. Now I’ve switched to iPhone 12, paired with the same Apple Watch and this same setup won’t work. I had iOS 16.2 on both phones. Surely this community knows a way for me to fix this? Particularly knowing it worked for me until a few weeks ago? Please help. It’s driving me crazy not having sounds or vibrations even on my phone when I’m wearing my Apple Watch. If there truly isn’t a solution, how do I log a request with Apple to bring this option back? Thank you!

Notifications are silent on the iPhone11 (ios 14.6) when Apple Watch 5 is connected and iphone locked I have tried all suggestions, but still cannot get msg alerts on the iPhone if the watch is connected. Every setting change seems to do nothing. If i turn off bluetooth the notifications start to function fine on the phone.

When your watch is unlocked and you iPhone is locked, notifications go to the watch.

When your iPhone is unlocked it will get the notifications.
