I have an Apple Watch Series 4 running Watch OS6. I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max running iOS13.1. I have haptic feedback turned on on the watch, but I only get a "tap" when a new iMessage arrives. I don't get any haptic feedback when new mail in the stock mail app arrives. Prior to the new software updates the haptic feedback was working great for all notifications. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

OK, so I think I stumbled into the fix on my own. I usually keep my phone on silent, but the other day I turned sounds back on and realised that when I got a new mail message (mail app or Outlook app) I wasn't get a "ding". I went into notifications and noticed that Sounds was turned off on both. I didn't think anything of it since as I said my phone is on silent 99% of the time...but apparently since I have notifications on the Apple Watch set to "mirror this iphone" I needed to have sounds turned on for these two apps in order to receive haptic feedback on the watch. As soon as I turned sound on in Notifications for these two apps I started getting haptic feedback on my watch when new mail arrived. So, if you aren't receiving haptic feedback on your watch for certain apps, make sure sounds are turned on in iPhone notifications and that should fix it. Now I get haptic feedback regardless of if the mute rocker switch on the iPhone is toggled on or off. Finally!

Have a look at your mail account to see if you have haptics set for that account.
MyWatch>Mail>look for your account ( I use iCloud so i tap that)>Show Alerts from (iCloud)>toggle on
also make sure haptic is toggled on
Randy-12,
So, if I open the Watch App, then "My Watch" at the bottom left of the app, then click on Mail, "Mirror My iPhone" is checked. I only have one email account so there's no option to choose which account.
Sorry I'm out of idea's
If your phone is set up properly (ie you get sound and haptic when you receive an email when your watch is off your wrist and locked, as you won't get it while your watch is on and your phone is locked.)
And your watch is set up properly
The only other thing I can think of trying is to erase your watch and setting it up as new.
Check your Settings on your watch by tapping on Sounds and haptics and set the volume to the Max.
Just tried that, no joy. Thanks though!
Try changing the haptics to prominent
Tried that. Also, iOS 13.1.1 just came out and so of course I updated right away. Still no haptics on Apple Watch.
Ok..I use custom
Try custom
Switched to Custom...still no joy.
No Haptic Feedback On Mail App
