Watch messages sync

After 6 months of documentation, Apple support continues to recognize, but not fix watch/message syncing errors. In order for messages to sync, I have to re-pair my iwatch series 5 every two days (obviously not a solution). I’ve just stopped utilizing messages on my watch. They say it’s a known issue and to “wait for a new update”. Okay, what’s next?

Text messages delayed on Apple Watch Ever since I updated to Apple Watch OS 8.3, my text messages and all other notifications arrive 2 minutes delayed. For instance, I see a text on my phone, then 2 minutes later my watch alerts me of a new message- but it is the same message I already read. I am starting to think apple intentionally messes up older devices with their updates- I have an Apple iWatch Series 2.

Watch notifications not syncing despite making sure notification settings for messages mirroring my phone and doing a total reset of my watch, my message notifications on my watch won’t sync to my phone at all. My phone has no unread messages and my watch has 55 and counting.
