Syncing Acknowledgment Of Notifications Across Devices

So now that I am working from home I am utilizing my devices for my business. I have an iPhone, an iPad, and an Apple Watch. The workflow is amazing! Except for one ridiculous inconvenience of having to acknowledge every single iMessage, text message and notification on each device. This includes my own replies to text messages which I sent from one device and I come through on my Apple Watch like a new reply. For work we’re talking hundreds a day.


I know this has been brought up before and it seems the answer was ‘no it can’t be done‘. But those were a few years ago. Has there been any progress on getting these to sink?


Thanks for all you do! I love my Apple products.

Hello, Seventhsarah7.


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.


From reading your post, you're having troubles with getting all of your devices to sync properly when it comes to messages and notifications. If you haven't done so already, restart all of your devices involved. Sometimes a restart can help resolve issues like this. Next, make sure that all of these devices are up to date.


Are you using iCloud Messages? If so, check to make sure you have enough storage in iCloud: Manage your iCloud storage


Are all of the devices connecting to the same Wi-Fi network? A poor network connection could contribute to devices not syncing correctly.


Check your notification settings as well: Use notifications on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Keep us updated.


Cheers!

Thanks for the quick reply, but it doesn’t actually address the issue I’m having. To be clear, I do have all the devices up to date and On the same WiFi which has been checked. They all receive the notifications well.


The problem is I have to acknowledge receipt on each one individually which is becoming overwhelming now that I use them for work. Is there a way to sync the acknowledgment of the notifications so I don’t have to do so on all three devices? If I receive an iMessage text and see it on my phone, can it then be acknowledged on the watch and iPad without going into those devises too?


thanks for all your help, it’s greatly appreciated,


sarah
