Watch text message notifications when phone is unlocked???

How can I still receive text notifications on my iWatch 7 when phone is unlocked? Today had a one hour zoom meeting on my phone and missed 11 text messages! The single most important function of this expensive watch should be as an auxiliary phone, Fitbit handles this beautifully at less than half the price. Asked support twice but they have no solution, hoping the community has figured something out 🙏

Unfortunately, that is the way Apple designed it to work (as the article you came from in the top-left corner of this page says). If you would like to make this suggestion to Apple, use this link:
