Apple Watch Ultra 2 not receiving notifications from specific apps

Help! I’m not getting most notifications on my Apple Watch Ultra 2! Everything is switched on as it should be but quite a few apps including Facebook, twitter, TikTok, YouTube, Ring etc, I don’t get any notifications on my Apple Watch Ultra 2 but I get them as normal on my iPhone 16 pro max! Anyone else had this and fixed it? If so, how? Thanks in advance everyone!

Have you been able to get these notifications prior to the iPhone 16 Pro max in the past?

Did you already try to force restart your iPhone and Apple Watch?

Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

To force restart your watch, press and hold the Digital Crown and the Side button together for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.

I’ve tried everything, resetting both my watch and my iPhone. Every setting is on as appropriate. I get notifications from Snapchat, WhatsApp, messenger etc. I don’t get notifications from the likes of X, Facebook, Ring. I got them before I took my iPhone into Apple a few weeks ago and it seems that since then, I’ve had this notification issue. Help.

Did the people at Apple reinstall iOS on your iPhone?

If yes, did you check the settings for Notifications for each app on the iPhone and in the WatchApp/Notifications/Mirror iPhone Alerts From?

They never said, I had to have the screen replaced so I assume they did the software too. I’ve checked every setting there is and even double checked them.

Do you know, if those notifications work for other users, which have the newest watchOS and iOS installed on their devices?
