iPhone 12 pro / galaxy watch notifications

I’ve just switched from Samsung phone back to iPhone but still have a galaxy watch.

I researched before swapping phones to make sure everything was compatible, which google said it was although certain features like email wouldn’t work.

Anyway, they connect to each other, can swap watch faces etc...but I’m getting no notifications on the watch from WhatsApp, Twitter and Facebook. In fact, i get no notifications at all.

The wearable app is totally different from apple store than it is from the galaxy play store and under settings, where you used to be able to set notifications for individual apps on Samsung, you just get a general notifications on or off. It’s on but I still get nothing.

Is there anyone with any experience can help please?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

Sorry, but you'll really need to contact Samsung as most folks on this forum will be Apple Watch/iPhone owners. Only someone who actually owns iPhone and Samsung Watch would be inclined to reply and that would likely be few to possibly none.

Before you get your watch, I think it might be good if you read about notifications and how they are delivered when you wear your watch. This is an area of confusion to many. The net is, when the watch is on your wrist, the watch is dominant and notifications, such as text alerts arrive at your watch, as opposed to your phone, unless your phone is active with the screen open.

Anyway, when you have a moment, read this --> Notifications on your Apple Watch - Apple Support

You'd be surprised how many people get upset because they want their watch and phone to ding. I have my set up to get a haptic vibration for incoming alerts. No sounds at all, as I'm the only one aware of an incoming anything. People in my office really appreciate it for sure.
