Watch does not indicate incoming call from the iphone

I’m not sure if anyone else is experiencing this issue. I purchased a Watch 6 on Saturday. I also updated the iPhone to iOS 14. However, I do not received an indicate there is an incoming call from my phone. I normally keep the sound off and previously I knew there’s an incoming call based on the watch indicated the incoming call (I also received the indication on the iPad as well). However, I no longer receive that indication when there’s an incoming call. I dont receive it on the iPad either. I do receive indication of text messages coming thru just not of incoming calls. I have verified settings but I’m either missing something or there’s some kind of a bug in the new software.


Thoughts?


Thanks

This afternoon I saw Apple has release 14.0.1 for the iPhone and 7.0.1 for the watch. Once update was completed everything worked fine. I have tested calling my cell and notification occurred on the watch every time.

Have you managed to fix this issue? I am having the same trouble. I have also read it might be somehow linked with the use of CarPlay, which I also have. I now have the combination of iPhone 12 Pro and Apple Watch 5, both on the latest OS versions. Phone calls work fine on my phone, but no notifications appear on my Watch. I even went through the hassle of upairing / pairing the watch again and nothing changed. Can you please help somehow?

It's not really fixed yet I works sometimes like after restarts and stuff. Luckily it works sometimes when the watch is farther away from the phone. So sorry to say the for me this is not completely over yet.

I have also tried to respond to this several times and it never works - just spins around. If it dos this time - please understand that. Sorry for the late response but I really did try sooner.

I’m just trying to make it clear. You’re all suggesting to go into the Bluetooth section in the iPhone settings and delete the Bluetooth connection between the phone and the watch? This is a fix? And in actuality that Bluetooth connection between the phone and the watch is not needed for anything else?

If this is the trick this is amazing stuff :)

TheMiks,


step 1. is not possible for me.

When I go to settings, bluetooth, I can see all devices. When I choose the I on the applewatch the phone is telling me I need to go to the Apple Watch app. Did you do this or not?

When I go to e.g. a bluetooth headset, I get the option to forget the device.


I got an Iphone X one IOS 14.4.2 and Applewatch with eSIM on 7.3.3.

My wife has a similar setup but the iphone 12Pro. We both have cars with Apple Carplay.
