No Activity notifications through AirPods 2.

When playing Spotify and other media whilst using the Activity app, eg; running, I am unable to hear any notifications, such as miles achieved. I purchased airpods2 last Sept and the notifications worked for a couple of runs but not when playing radio stations via the phones 4G but has not worked since @Oct 2021.

I have all items on the latest firmware and have disconnected and reconnected, changed settings a number of times and checked settings. The notifications come via the watch but not my AirPods. Is this a iPhone, Apple Watch or AirPods problem. Very frustrating.

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 8

Welcome Certed,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Based on your post, you are not receiving notifications with your iPhone and AirPods.


To make sure we're on the same page, you have the AirPods connected to the iPhone and not the Apple Watch, correct? Does the issue persist if you listen to the radio using Apple Music on the Apple Watch?

Listen to radio on Apple Watch


Should it persist, are you an Apple Music member? Does the issue continue when you aren't listening to any music at all? Have you tried unpairing the Apple Watch and iPhone yet?


Hoping to hear back, take care.
