iOS 15 Focus and Apple Watch

I've set up the Focus on my iPhone and it functions the way I want it too except I'm still getting all the notifications on my Apple Watch that have been silenced on my iPhone. Is this a bug or is there a step I'm missing?

Hello Bluemoon4480, 


It sounds as though your Apple Watch isn’t mirroring the Focus settings you have enabled on your iPhone. Apple Support Communities is a great place for help! 


If you haven’t already take a look at the following article to confirm the settings are correct for the Apple Watch to mirror your iPhone. 


Notifications on your Apple Watch


If the settings appear correctly the next step would be to verify the Focus settings on the watch. You can find more information about using Focus on your Apple Watch in the article below.
