Focus Filters on Apple Watch

While the ability to mirror any Focus created on iPhone is available on Apple Watch, none of the Focus Filters I've created are utilized. I'm still receiving messages, emails, calendar notifications, etc. that I've filtered out on my iPhone & iPad...is there any way to fix this, or is this something that would have to wait for an update?

Thanks, but I read that before I started this thread...both iOS & iPadOS 16.1 have options to filter messages, emails, calendars, etc depending on your focus setup. There's no option for this in WatchOS 9.1, you can only mirror iPhone focus...and while I don't get the alerts, the messages, calendars, emails, etc. aren't automatically filtered like iOS & iPadOS.

Thanks again...I wasn't sure if there was a setting I was missing, because you have to setup the focus filters individually on each device (iPhone & iPad...haven't upgraded to Ventura yet). and there's no option to do so on Apple Watch. Hopefully Apple adds this option in an update, or makes the adjustment automatic when you mirror iPhone Focus.
