Iphone 13 messages not ringing when locked and when I have my apple watch on the wrist

I recently moved from an iPhone 8 to 13 mini. And I use an apple watch SE. I cannot have both devices ring when my iPhone is locked. If I have my Apple watch on the wrist, then, I do not get the sounds in the iPhone. Help!

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 15

Hey Agustinapupe,


It sounds like you're having an issue with not hearing calls on your iPhone when using your Apple Watch. We can understand wanting to look into that further. We want to help.


This would be expected behavior. You can learn more about this here: 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.

If your iPhone is unlocked, you'll get notifications on your iPhone instead of your Apple Watch.

 

If your iPhone is locked or asleep, you'll get notifications on your Apple Watch, unless your Apple Watch is locked with your passcode."


Thanks!
