Find My Notifications Not Showing on Apple Watch 5

I have it set to get a notification when a contact arrives/leaves certain places. they have an Apple Watch SE with cellular set up with Family setup. I receive the notification on my phone, but it's not showing up on my Apple Watch 5. My phones and both watches are updated to the latest OS software. I get all other notifications to my Watch, but not the find My. I do have it set in my watch app to allow Find My notifications on the watch.


Second, the contact gets a notification on his watch every time he arrives/leaves one of the places. Is there a way to turn that off so he doesn't have to dismiss the message? He seems to have an option to dismiss or message.


Thank you.

Hello mlvenan,


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!


Based on what you're seeing could you please try restarting both Apple Watches and their paired iPhones to see if this issue continues?


Restart Apple Watch - Apple Support

Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


After restarting do you notice any change in the behavior?


When this happens are you actively using your iPhone or is it asleep?


These details can help narrow down what's happening and what options you have.


Cheers!
