When receiving a text on my watch I use to just raise my wrist and it would show the message and I could read it but recently it has started showing who the message is from and I have to tap it to read the message. How can I fix this to show the message when I just raise my wrist?
Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 8
Both are up to date. It has been resolved. You have to disable the Tap to show full notification tab under notifications in the watch app.

Hello there First-world-probs,
Thanks for posting here on the Apple Support Communities! This is a place where other Apple users can submit questions or respond to others to help lend a hand. Let's take a closer look as we do our best to provide some additional insight.
To get started, this functionality can depend on a number of different settings.
Got to the Apple Watch app on your companion iPhone: My Watch > General:
- Wrist Detection - turn on.- Wake Screen > check that Wake Screen on Wrist Raise is enabled.
Any change after giving that a try?
Certainly keep us posted, we’re here for you every step of the way!
Take care.
I don’t have wrist detection as a selection under the general settings. The wake on wrist raise is enabled.
