Apple Watch 7 doesn’t vibrate when texts come in

I just got my new Apple Watch series 7 and it will not vibrate when I have it silenced. The only way I know whether or not I got a text is if I open my phone. Any one else having this issue with their new watch?

I have turned it off and back on several times and have toggled everything lol.

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 8

Hello Dgaval20! Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.


We understand that your Apple Watch isn’t providing Haptic Alerts when it should. We'd like to look into this with you to see how we can help. 


Great thinking to try the steps outlined in Set up your Apple Watch to resolve this issue. 


Apple provides the following resource to help with making sure your Apple Watch is set up to receive Haptic Alerts, under “How to manage Apple Watch Haptic Alerts”, here: Change the audio and notification settings on your Apple Watch


Make it a great day!
