Notifications not appearing on Lock Screen

I recently upgraded my iPhone to the iPhone 12 Pro Max and set up my new phone via an iCloud backup.

When my phone is locked, I don’t receive any notifications for any alert. No sound, no vibration and in many cases, no visual banner. I know that I have received a notification as it still appears on my old iPhone, but not on my new iPhone.

I have already checked my settings and all the relevant apps have notifications turned on with the Lock Screen setting ticked along with sound and badges on. I also do not have Do Not Disturb on.

This is really frustrating as I don’t get alerted when my phone is locked for messages, emails, WhatsApp messages, doorbell notifications etc. I just get no notifications showing. Some notifications will eventually appear in my Notification Center, but not all of them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, 14

I think I figured out the problem. I also own an Apple Watch. When I am wearing the Apple Watch, the notifications don’t alert on the phone. But when I don’t wear the watch, I do get the notifications.
