No audible alert with text

I have noticed that I do not get an audible alert on my phone when a text message comes in if I’m wearing my Apple Watch. This is after checking that phone switch was not on silent, and making sure my ringer was at full blast. It will vibrate on my wrist, but no noise from phone. I don’t want two alerts, one from each device.

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 14

Hello Kalom9875,


We understand that when you have your Apple Watch paired to your iPhone, you notice you get no notification sounds. We'd be happy to provide more information about why this is happening.


Have a look at the following article: Notifications on your Apple Watch

"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."


We hope this clears things up.


Enjoy your day!
