iphone is not making any notification sounds when I wear the apple watch

Hi guys,


I've got a question. If I am wearing my Apple Watch, I never receive any notification sounds on my iphone anymore. This is in some way pretty disturbing. On the internet, I've seen several topics about this matter but I couldn't really find a solution. I also noticed someone saying that you can only push the notifications to either or your iphone or watch, but not to both.


Is there a workaround to get this fixed?


I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you in advance for your help!

You may please provide --> Product Feedback - Apple <-- here if you want notifications on both.


Where you’ll see your notifications

Notifications go to either your Apple Watch or iPhone, but not both. Learn when a notification might appear on your iPhone, instead of your Apple Watch, below.

If your iPhone is unlocked, you'll get notifications on your iPhone, instead of your Apple Watch.

 

If your iPhone is locked or asleep, you'll get notifications on your Apple Watch, unless your Apple Watch is locked with your passcode.

 

Some apps, such as the Noise app, are only on your Apple Watch. Notifications for these apps don't appear on your iPhone.

The red notification icon  appears on your watch face when you get a notification. When you dismiss notifications on your Apple Watch, they’re also dismissed from your iPhone.
