Apple Watch Series 8 not receiving calls

Hello,


just got a new series 8 apple watch for my wife and it’s not receiving calls notifications, I checked the notifications and all seems ok, Airplane mode and Do not disturb are off, restarted the watch and all didn’t help.

It can make calls and receive other notifications like WhatsApp for example but not incoming calls.

Thanks

It's great that you've already taken some troubleshooting steps. Make sure that the Apple Watch is connected to your iPhone, and check if the "Silent Mode" is disabled on the watch. Additionally, verify that the Phone app on your iPhone allows notifications for calls. If the issue persists, you may want to unpair and then pair the Apple Watch again with your iPhone.
