How do I get Apple Watch notifications when iPhone is left behind?

Good evening, I have noticed for several days that on my Apple Watch no notification from the find devices app comes when I move away from my iPhone, despite the function being activated. while on my iPhone 14 plus in the where is app, under the heading Notifications, I don’t see the possibility of setting for moving away warning in any way.

I hope someone can help me figure out what the problem is.

I am not aware of the alert named "Moving Away"

Apple has a "Notify When Left Behind" feature that works between an iPhone and an Apple Watch. This feature is part of Find My and sends an alert when you leave your device behind.

However, there are some conditions:

iPhone Notifies When Apple Watch is Left Behind – If your Apple Watch is out of range and disconnected from your iPhone, you can get an alert.
Apple Watch Notifies When iPhone is Left Behind – If your Apple Watch is cellular or connected to Wi-Fi, it can notify you when your iPhone is left behind.
No Alert If in an "Ignored Location" – You can set locations (like home) where you won’t receive alerts.
Requires iOS 15+ and watchOS 8+
