Screen Time Request Issues Since the new IOS update 16.0 ive noticed issues with responding to the screen time request on both my phone and apple watch. Both are updated but now I only receive screen time requests via text message, when before I would get a notification in the banner. Previously I could push and hold the notification (on both my phone or apple watch) and it would pop up the option to approve 15minutes, 1 hour, all day or decline. Now on my apple watch i get the notification as a text message and am unable to approve or deny the request, the message says i need to go to messages on phone or mac to answer. I have not changed my settings on neither watch nor phone. Even on my phone i only get the request notifications via text, they no longer pop up in the banner as an actual notification to approve it. How can I fix this?? I dont want to keep getting text for the screen time requests, and I want to be able to once again approve request from my watch.

Silence AFIB notifications Several months ago, I started getting Afib notifications on my watch. My doctor confirmed the condition and prescribed medication to control it. I left the setting on to collect data on my phone each day. The problem is that the watch notifies me many times each day. However, the notification is annoying and disturbing, especially at night as it wakes me up. i don’t want to stop the sampling, as I want to continue collecting historical data for review with my doctor. However, I do want to silence all Afib notifications on my watch. I can’t seem to figure out how to do this. Suggestions?

This is a common issue after updating to ios 15.5 You have to turn off the notifications for whatsapp in the settings>whatsapp>notifications, keep them off for a while and then turn them back on. This should solve the problem
